Default Corvettes & Calories still on the road! Sat Sept 22



Corvettes & Calories will be at Lola’s Diner in Park Ridge on Saturday, September 22, 2012.

There is a large Metra parking lot directly behind the diner. NO CHARGE for weekend parking! This is where our Vettes & some other very cool cars will be parking. You can enter the lot through the driveway (marked with a Metra sign) which is two doors south of the diner. This driveway also accesses the Skylark Garage.

Please note the extended hours of 8am to 11am.

While driving to Lola’s Diner, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!

This place is really good and even if you cant make it, its worth checking out another time. They give you a ton of good food. Its not like your run of the Mill Omega, Sanders, etc type places.

I have also checked this place out and echo other's opinions the food is plentiful, good and inexpensive.

Bob & Greg, as we were talking yesterday about this, I had that funny feeling something else was going on that day that I had committed to do. Doh, I see on my calendar that I am taking a macro photography class that day to update my rusty skills. I'll miss this event.

See everybody soon.

As a Public Service to our more "Challenged" drivers:



The sign at the driveway which leads to the Metra lot says: Dee Rd Commuter Parking. This driveway is next to the Skylark Garage, which is two doors south of the diner.

The aerial map above is the fine work of one "Quick Silver Z". This Chicago Crew member has been helpful in all our events to the "nth" degree! And also holds the title of "World's Best Googler". Here's a shout-out to you, Bob!

While driving your Vette to Lola's Diner, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!
