Guest UVETTYA Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Marylou and I will be cruising to Yuma this Sunday to have lunch with Tom (YumaZ06). If anyone else lives in Yuma and wants to meet up with us, that would be great! Also if anyone wants to cruise down there with us, you're sure welcome to come along.

Guest UVETTYA Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I can vouch for the good burgers! (and a hottie waitress or two) <snicker> Tom's pretty darn good company too, for those of you who haven't met him. We might grab a hotel if no one else comes with us, Tom. Depends on how much beer I drink. (I can only have 1 or 2 or more) Is there anything interesting to see or do in Yuma on a Sunday afternoon/evening?

YumaZ06 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I could take you on a scenic tour on the California side of the river to see some lakes and the river, or a trip out to the sand dunes (about 15 miles away). We'll figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest racingchester Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Forgot about the 500. I must have an afternoon project in the garage to take care of........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UVETTYA Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I like to kick it, like everyone else, occassionally, but normally I drive the speed limit plus 5 or so. I usually only get carried away when I'm around the speed demons (you know who you are) and I like to compete, so sometimes we go at it. It's the manly thing to do. <shrug> So don't let that hold you back. We'll drive like old pharts if you like. Just don't pass me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nort99 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I just said to the wife lets go, we have not been there. Then she tells me it is the Daytona 500, and we are not going to miss it. I say yes dear, I knew that and that I was just testing her. Have fun. :D I don't know when it really happened but some where is the last 40 years I lost control of things.

Guest racingchester Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Went through the Bend on Tuesday with a bus load of kids to Yuma for a (yawn) tennis tourney. Could have stopped at Dawgs for lunch or a 40 kid potty stop.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UVETTYA Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 OK Tom, if you're reading - ML and I are headed out about 9 am. Looks like these light weights are going to make us go alone. Mapquest says it's 185 miles. We should be there in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XLR8TNC5 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I make the trip to YUMA a lot. One of my Holsum Bakery Outlet stores is down there off of 16th Street and Aizona Avenue (actually it on 21st street behind the Burgers and Beer place. So, I am sorry we can't make this trip this Sunday, but maybe another time. Yuma is a pretty cool little place. It is growing like mad though! Take it easy and drive safe. Have fun. I have made the trek in as little as 2 hours and 5 minutes. But I wasn't in the Vette when I did it. I was in a rental car. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Well I was about 30 miles from Yuma while Steve was down there, but I was up to my elbows in grease at a crossing. Talked to him when he left there, hope they made it home ok with all the traffic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talked to him when he left there, hope they made it home ok with all the traffic!Yes, made it home just fine. There was a mile backup at the Border Patrol checkpoint on I-8 but it moved through pretty quick. Too bad we couldn't meet up Dwayne. We had a good time with Tom and a great lunch. We even got the hottie waitress. Also got to meet Tom's neighbor who owns a body shop and owns almost 40 muscle cars, in various stages of restoration. We got to see and hear the 69 396 Chevelle in his garage. Awesome! Marylou took some pix and I'll post them this evening.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug (my neighbor) has been buying old cars on e-bay and doing resto mods to them. He is in love with 1969 era cars and has a really nice 69 Superbee with a 440 magnum in it. Also a 69 Mach1 mustang, 69 camaro's, gto's, 55 chevy's, el camino's, and dodge chargers. They are not numbers matching but he does great work on them with upgraded drivetrains and go fast goodies.
