And all I need is to occasionally carry some large boxes that won't fit into a Coupe. Well, this is harder than I thought. My first Car was a 77 Accord where the owner welded a very nice, custom built hitch to it, which also acted as a battering ram if someone rear ended me. They stood NO chance! LOL! I miss that Accord. But today.... not much out there. Pity this guy is on the opposite side of the country.

      Keeping it small works out great. You don't need huge parking and by doing just 1 generation, everyone gets to know everyone else. And the idea is to exchange ideas and info on the generation of the car you have or would like to own. Had a few people that were actually idea shopping as they were moving into a C8 in the near future. But ur idea is interesting. Probably could actually include the C7's too. Village Vettes currently have 120 C8's on their roster.
