Loving the car bro. It's a monster and I haven't even gotten in to it yet! Only about 500 more miles of break in before I can really beat on it.

Meeting up next weekend sounds good. I'm gonna meet with the guys from the Blue Ridge Corvette Club on Saturday but I'm free on Sunday! If you wanna cruise let me know because I'm going to be looking to put miles on my car.

I might be headed up to DC on Sat until late Sunday. If it falls thru, I will meet up with you guys. I should know more later in the week.

I am not against something before the weekend either. Even if its just a meet up and chill somewhere early evening.

Your car ain't half bad either.

On another note, where do you C'ville area guys get your gas? I am a firm believer in the Top Tier Gas retailers being better, but I also don't like to put the ten percent Ethanol gas (E10) in my cars if I don't drive them that often. The ethanol will attract water etc. I have realized that C'ville now has all E10, everywhere I have looked. The shell station in Ruckersville had 100% gas, but their pumps are being upgraded now. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good stations without the E10 in the area.

Top Tier Gas URL: http://www.toptiergas.com/index.html

Retailers:

QuikTrip
Chevron
Texaco
MFA Oil Co.
Conoco
Phillips 66
76
Entec Stations
Shell
The Somerset Refinery, Inc.
Kwik Trip / Kwik Star
Aloha Petroleum
Tri-Par Oil Co.
Turkey Hill Minit Markets
Mileage Stations
Chevron Canada
Shell Canada
Petro-Canada
Sunoco Canada

I don't think I'll be able to make 7:30. I'm gonna be down in the Fishersville area tomorrow afternoon. I'm in between Staunton and H'Burg. What's your schedule looking like this weekend?

About the gas, I don't live in charlotteville but around here the Exxon is pure gas, and also I think Shell is too.

I'd be up for it if you guys know some good roads out that way. It takes me couple of hours to get to Charlottesville so would want to head out early to get back at a reasonable hour.

LEt me know and I'll head your way if the weather holds, I'm running BFG KD's so wet roads area no no for me having any fun

Sounds good, yeah I know we'd have to run out towards I-81 and further west/north so I'd leave early early Sunday morning to head your way.

I'm planning to leave Poquoson at 6am Sunday April 26 and head west. Any one that wants to hook up with me I'll be at Panera Bread on Jefferson about 6:15am.

My cell is 757-206-6321 and I'll be on FRS Radio Channel 5.5

My plan is to try to hook up with The Dingo and/or others around Charlottesville and head west for some fun.

Just started looking at this part of the forum again. Just bought the wife a 2000 Vert (she was with a vette for almost a year), my 73 should be back together soon. We would enjoy cruising around with a "pack" We saw a group of Vette's at the Blue Ridge Cafe this afternoon any of you guys there?
