The Corvettes at Carlisle show is the world’s largest Corvette extravaganza and provides Corvette enthusiasts from all generations with a weekend of entertainment, education and of course the ability to drive in the famous parade.

 

Corvettes at Carlisle 2014My husband waits all year for his Corvette Christmas holiday, but this year, we missed it by a week!  Late this afternoon, he discovered “the show” dates had been entered incorrectly on his iPhone, as being next weekend, and it’s so over!  So we wait another year.

 

It’s hard to imagine, but we’ve both been speechless all afternoon.  So there’s next year, it’s on the calendar, and the dates are correct – I’m the one who put the entry of August 28 – 30, 2014 on the calendar!

Larry, Oh he made the mistake, but I would never "rub it in" I'm not that type of person and vice versa.  There's always a reason . . . and yes, there is next year.

Bill, Every once in a while, my husband buys a lottery ticket for a new Corvette from the National Corvette club, hoping to go to Bowling Green to pick up the winner.

Fred, Hopefully your Sister was not seriously injured in the crash, but I have a feeling she was.

Sussie, He's feeling better now, because it rained most of the day, and the car has NEVER seen rain!

Bet, My ex loved corvettes and I thought they were sharp looking but road like a log wagon. He got to take it with him when he left.

Good morning Bette ... I am so sorry to see that you and your husband missed the show.  Search for corvette shows in other areas of the country and surprise your husband with a getaway for you and him.  It would be fun!!

Bette,

Oh!  No!  You need to do something very nice for your guy to console him!  Sorry you guys missed the fun!  And I'm with Judith.  Find one that would be a fun road trip and have a romantic weekend!

Bette,

 Oooh that bad part is you have to wait a whole year for the next one! I love corvettes, though this is a recent thing. Too long of a story to write!

Debbie, My husband had an '87 Corvette, and I referred to it as "old shaky."

Curtis, I've been listening to the reports from your area, and hoping you are seeing few aftershocks.

Judith, Unfortunately, this is the largest show in the US, so my hubby will need to be patient until next year!

Pat, Oh, he isn't a happy camper.  A trip to Atlantic City may pacify him temporarily since one of the largest Corvette dealerships is local.

Yolanda, A year is not that far away.  Many of us have "Corvette" stories . . . I'd love to hear yours someday.

Bette - that red Corvette is a beauty.  Carlisle is a not that long a trip for me.  I will bookmark this for next year.

Bette, still remember one of my son's Corvette accident a number of years ago. At 17 years old, he owned a beautiful green corvette. One night while driving on an oil slick stretch of road -  in the rain - he hit an Cadillac Eldorado (no less). Both cars went through the front of a house :_((((  No injuries and no monetary damages besides total destruction of his vehicle.. He still longs for that Corvette.
