Some additional information from another forum.

For those that don't drive their Corvette to work every day ...

June 30, 2006 - 6th Annual

-"Drive Your Corvette To Work Day"-

...Celebrating The Enjoyment of America's Sports Car

Friday, June 30th, is the date of the 6th Annual Drive Your Corvette To Work Day, sponsored by Mid America Motorworks. In honor of Drive Your Corvette To Work Day, enthusiasts across the United States make "America's Sports Car" their commuter car for the day. Every year, the Friday closest to June 30, Corvettes official birthday, is chosen to observe Drive Your Corvette To Work Day this is the first year the event actually fell on the same day.

Mid America Motorworks promotes Drive Your Corvette To Work Day among Corvette owners and clubs. The goal is to have as many Corvette owners as possible drive their car to work that day. Launched in 2001, Mid America Motorworks' Drive Your Corvette To Work Day is an annual event celebrated by thousands of Corvette owners.

"We understand why many owners consider their Corvette to be a special car and only drive it occasionally," said Mike Yager, founder and "Chief Cheerleader" of Mid America Motorworks, the world's leading supplier of Corvette parts and accessories. "But we think driving your Corvette to work, at least one day a year, is an excellent way to demonstrate just how popular Corvettes are. And it is a chance for Corvette owners to meet new Corvette owners."

Corvette owners who observe "Drive Your Corvette To Work Day" are encouraged to send high resolution digital pictures of their car at work to clubs@mamotorworks.com . Mid America Motorworks will post as many pictures as possible.

Mike, your pic is a big Red X. It isn't showing up.

I would love to take my car to work tomorrow and park it in front of the HUGE "THESE COLORS DONT RUN" American Flag we have on the side of the building, however, this would mean I have to stop traffic (on the access road (on/off ramp). Any volunteers to stop traffic for me so I can get my photo op done? lol.

Its in a rough part of town and Im sure we would get shot if we stopped traffic so I could get a picture of MY C5 under the flag. But damn, it would be a REALLY cool picture. lol.

Oh well. Maybe next time. I still gotta go get a hose clamp for the coolant line that popped off on the mini ride on Father's Day. lol. I have not driven the car since Father's Day. Ouch, Im a bad mommy!

Man, I would love to do a photoshoot, but I have to be to work (in Scottsdale) by 7:45 or so. Even though I may think it's a good reason, something tells me the owner wouldn't understand why I couldn't make it there on time! :smilelol

Got the OK from proper offices to shoot pic's on the squre with ASC - no events and no problems.

I know they have club car shows out there on occaisions - on weekends.

I was wondering if anyone else might want to do that in the future?

Any interest???

Most I've seen would be about 30, that's using the entire square...and fall would be GREAT idea.

I've seen a Jaguar, Ferrari and Cadillac club do events here, and I think a Good Guys show once.

There's also downtown secutiry to keep an eye on things.

I'm game for that too! That would make an AWESOME pic! :thumbs

As for today, Mike's taking the camera, because the Ford dealer is funnier than a Real Estate Company. whaat.gif

Mark was a sweetheart yesterday and he fixed my coolant hose leaking problem. THANKS BABE!!!! :thumbs

So, I get to drive my ride today as well! Unfortunately, I will be driving it to the Tempe Receiving Dock/Depot and I don't think there will be any cool photo-ops, unless I get it parked next to a Holsum Semi or something! I don't know. We will see what happens.

Later all,

Tanya
