Kouasupra is correct. The Corvette Jaw-Jackers gather Saturday mornings at Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) at 900 Riverside Ave. in Roseville. Stop in for coffee, donuts and of course great cars and some friendly Jaw-Jackn'...........Jere

Welcome to Sacto.

Worthwhile visiting BMR just to see the shop, showroom, cars and say Hi to the Corvette owners.

Sometimes you know you are where you are supposed to be.
Was out waxing the Z today, atvthe house in riverpark and at least 6 different neighbors stopped by to introduce themselves and chat. Seems like everyone has a classic car....

Was introduced to Midyear Stingrays a local C2 club by a neighbor who has a 67 coupe.

Another neighbor a few streets over also has a red Z.

Having new Pilot Supersports 285/345 installed today....too many trips between Sac and Fresno have taken its toll!

If any of you see a VR Z with Oregon plates cruising around, stop and say hi!

Keep an eye on CorvetteSyndicate.com for some of our upcoming events, as there is a great group of folks who get together for day and overnight trips and cruises. Sounds like you folks might fit right in!

Greenhaven is pretty nice. I live in north natomas. Roseville is probably the best but also the most expensive.

Nowhere with 'south' in the title. From city center, north and northeast IMO. 'In' city center only if you want a nice older home on a tree lined street. There are some nice ones. There are some nice neighborhoods east off hiway 50 towards Tahoe too.
