Vets with Vettes event to benefit Toys for Tots
Posted by Staff reports November 03, 2007 6:50 AM
The Vets with Vettes and Corvette Owners club will hold its second annual display at Madison Square Mall today.

The event supports the local Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots drive.

The theme for this year's event is Santa's Sleigh and his very fast reindeer. A Chevrolet SSR truck will be this year's sleigh and nine Corvettes will serve as the reindeer.

On display in the Suzuki of Huntsville showroom will be Corvettes ranging from 1965 to 2006.

Oh, and I also found something I would like in my stocking from Santa. The silver one is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for years and I am sure it made a good reindeer with the rest of the heard ..... maybe someday:

Y'all just reminded me of the day I bought Red (nickname for my '05 Redline Red SSR).

I bought her at a Chevy dealership in Northern VA. Unknownst to us, the local Corvette Club had their Vettes on display in the showroom. They started 'em up and headed out right about the time my deal was done. I can still remember the smell (fuel) and the noise - how sweet it was! - as they all pulled out.

Thank you for that memory! Vettes are nice, but I made the right decision when I decided to go with my cute, HOT, little truck!
