BOWLING GREEN, Ky -- The National Corvette Museum will offer a $1.00 special admission to all military personnel, firefighters, police officers and their immediate families for the month of November, according to museum spokesperson Bobbie Jo Lee.

Designated Military Appreciation Month, November will be marked by $1.00 admission for all branches, including active, retired and reserve members.

A military or service ID is necessary to receive the discount. Those who take advantage of the November promotion can see several new exhibits, including a 2002 'Tiger Shark" Corvette supercharged with 742 horsepower engine and a 1989 Splash Challenge Car featuring a custom paint scheme.

New to the floor also are a Reynolds Aluminum Corvette 1972 XP-895, one of a series of experimental Corvettes built to explore alternative engine placements and chassis layouts, and two complete XP-895 Corvettes built with a steel body and the second with an aluminum body created as a joint venture between GM and Reynolds Aluminum.

"In conjunction with Veterans Day, Nov. 11, this special rate is offered to show our appreciation to individuals who protect our freedom," said Wendell Strode, NCM executive director.

It won't be this weekend, I'm in Savanna, GA playing war games with the Air National Guard.The following weekend (12/13) I'll probably be obligated to stay at home to make up for (2) birthdays that I missed while playing war in Savannah.19th & 20th is drill weekend.

26th or 27th, weekend after Thanksgiving sound OK? Or the Monday before (21st) if you can get away from work and they don't have the assembly plant shut down early for the holiday.

Do you think we have enough time to organize it as a NICO/SHIFT_502 caravan/meet like we did before the 502 fall meet last year? Maybe even get Ben/Everett/whoever to round up that crazy Bosnian VW/Audi group again?
