My XLR/V(s):
2007 Red Jewel XLR
Default NCH stories

As we were headed into the plant for photos, a worker was inside the fence on a forklift watching all the XLR's driving through the tunnel. As I drove by, he looked me square in the eyes and said, "WELCOME HOME". Brought tears to my eyes... in fact, it still does (it's rather hard seeing the keyboard right now, through watery eyes).

It was super looking back in the parade on Friday and seeing 4 MILES of Corvettes and XLR's. And the drive to the lodge on Saturday... 15 or so XLR's in a row. WHAT A SIGHT!!!! And the "spirited driving", there and back was sooooo much fun... I think I had Cindy hanging on for dear life around some of those corners. I think I heard a "Slow down" in there a time or two, but I couldn't swear to it... I was having too much fun to listen!!

We had a BLAST having everyone in our room on Wednesday & Thursday evenings. And everyone in the Courtyard lobby on Friday and Saturday nights... well, need I say more?

Good friends, good food and DRINK... GOOD TIMES - that's what it's all about.

We missed you Sandy ... now DON'T let it happen again! I'm not sure if you know the group's motto, but anyone NOT present, usually get "talked about". That's why I try not to miss an event.

Right Sschooley?

Here's 2 great pictures of GizmoQ & Tiffany's Dad showing off their new parking signs in front of Sschooley's Army of One XLR. It's nice to see the guys getting along so well.
