When we took a Mexico Cruise we met a group of workers from the Corvette plant in Bowling Green Klantucky on board the ship with us.
Genuine, Bible belt homespun nice peeps. Their heart is in the right place, the kinda people ya want building your car.
We've kept in touch, and hooked up with them when we visited the GM Corvette plant and National Corvette Museum last week.
We plan to order a new z06 when we return from vacation ( Hot Boater Jason at Selman gives the best deals BTW) and got to see them made.
The Corvette museum is open most every day at 8 AM.
Amazingly popular plce to visit. Some friends from our local Corvette & Harley clubs were there too.

Our 7 year old lifts a z06 chassis at the Corvette museum.

Lunch at RD's of course
We're considering factory delivery, but the roads surrounding Bowling green are all under massive renovation and we don't yet want to tear up the finish with stone damage.
A shop in town installs the 3M Lexan plastic coating front bra and rear stone guard, so we may still try the factory delivery.
Supposed to be a cool experience.

Looks like great fun. I have always wanted to take that tour.
Your 7 year old need to reduce milk consumption of soon he can just carry you around.:D
My father has sold a few cars over the past few years at Barret Jackson in AZ. The first year they drove a Jag there that was to be auctioned. They had that 3M stuff put on. Still a very slow and careful trip.
When they got there thay had to hire a detailer to take it off which was not real easy I understand.
Last year they paid to have two cars trailered and saved the rapid heart rates for auction time. They have two 54 Vetts going in '08. No way those will be driven. Anywhere.
Glad you had a good trip.
