How I ended up with Two Corvettes

While walking around the latest Food Lion Auto Fair at Lowes Motor Speedway I thought of this idea / article to post on my Corvette website. It seemed as if every other Corvette had a personalized license plate. I’ve always found it pretty creative and interesting to read the license plates. Especially the ones that make you think for a few minutes.
I snapped some photos with my little Sony Digital camera and wanted to share them with the readers of my blog. I hope you enjoy!

This years Food Lion Auto Fair was wet, muddy, cold and windy. The weather was everything but what we all really wanted. In fact, the speedway even pulled out their “rain plan” and had most of the car clubs park their cars under the Front stretch grand stands.
Saturday was a special day for me. I had the pleasure of taking my 8 year old nephew to the car show. He spent the whole day with me. However, I’m pretty sure after about 3 hours, he was a little bored. The rain didn’t help matters. He was a good sport about it and we really enjoyed the day together.
I gave Will a good idea before we went to the car show and suggested that we make a field trip out of it. This meant that he would be able to take pictures of cars. More importantly I wanted Will to take notes about each car that he had his picture made with. Will did a great job and came home with a lot of notes. The cool part about it was that he actually learned a little bit about each car. I’m sure he will have lots to talk about when he goes to school on Monday.
Will even managed to find a car smaller than him.
Thanks Will!

Anyday now the classic cars and collectors will start piling into the local Charlotte hotels. The Lowes Motor Speedway Food Lion Autofair starts on Thursday. This is by far one of the biggest car shows on the East Coast. I’ve already heard from several folks from New York, Illinois and Ohio that are coming to the event.
We plan on having both Corvettes at the car show. The 1977 Corvette is FOR SALE. The 2008 Corvette is for show and fun. Auto Barn Classic Cars confirmed today that they are reserving a spot for the 1977 Corvette. It should be in the inner track area whereever the Autobarn reserved spots are located. Please stop by and check out the car if you are interested. I will be on site all 4 days and The Autobarn will be ready to sale the car on my behalf that weekend.
We will enter our 2008 Corvette for show only on Saturday and Sunday. We are joining the Generations Corvette Club of Charlotte, NC for two days of Corvette display and social fun. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the 2008 Corvette yet, swing on by. The Generations Corvette Club members have some very sweet Corvettes to show off. Pay a visit to the Club website. There is an awesome picture taken in front of the Biltmore House and Gardens. Fancy Corvette cars and an amazing historical mansion in the background. Pretty Cool!!!
If anyone is reading this website and you do come out to the Food Lion Spring Autofair, and you just happen to spot my cars, please don’t be shy. I meet a lot of people at car shows and it’s pretty neat to learn how many of them have read my Corvette website.
Hope to see you at the Car Show! Be safe and have a great time.
