Beyond the norm

We all have our ideas of what 'normal' is all about. Whether it's when you're thinking about what is normal at work, with friends/family, or with life in general.

This is more about something that has been slighted greatly in the press and altering the public's opinion about... the american auto industry.



This weekend, I spent the weekend with my girlfriend in Kentucky... Bowling Green to be exact. The home of the Corvette for the past 27 years now. As people know me know, this isn't the first time I've been there. It's not been the 1st time this year...

It was a great weekend strictly because I got to spend it with Kim. Didn't matter if we sat and watched ants walk up and down the sidewalk, and that we got to do something that we BOTH enjoy. Her Corvette club had a trip to BG to see the plant and get a tour, and get a special tour @ the Corvette Museum, which is right across the highway from the plant.



Kim had never gotten to do the plant tour before, so it was special to me since I'd get to see how SHE reacted to things there. I was very pleased to find that she had a great experience and learned a thing or two along the way... we BOTH did ;)


That GM schedules a tour of their plant for the public is fantastic. That they will let you watch YOUR Corvette be built as it goes down the line is amazing... After her club finished the tours, we all got a special treat of sitting down with the new plant manager, Tom Hill. Very nice guy, and very passionate about keeping Corvette strong on his watch. He talked at length about any questions we had, responded to comments about various Corvette things, and in the end, met us out in the lot to check out our cars and let us see his... a pre-production 2010 Corvette Grand Sport Convertible.
Very nice indeed.

The rest of the weekend aside from a museum tour was just US for the most part. It was nice and I miss that terribly. I've been slacking on posting this as I got busy and have had alot going on here as well. ( This all took place at the end of June over Father's day weekend... I know, I'm a chump )

So, now I've got almost 2 weeks until I see her again, and I can't wait. We'll have another 4 week span before we can get together again and neither of us are happy about that.

More to be posted later this week... I'm working with only 2 1/2 hrs sleep right now.
