I hope all of you are aware that Friday is the 9th annual "Drive Your Corvette to Work" day. On this day, Corvette enthusiasts are urged to take to their Corvette to the road as a way to say happy birthday to the Corvette, which first rolled off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan on June 30th, 1953.

The idea for the "Drive Your Corvette to Work" comes from Mike Yager of Mid America Motorworks, who launched the event in 2001. The yearly event is held on the Friday closest to June 30th. This year, Mid America Motorworks wants to get as many Corvettes on the road as possible to show support for General Motors. Many believe (us included) that the Chevrolet Corvette is GM's greatest contribution to the automotive world.

"We understand why many owners consider their Corvette to be a special car and only drive it occasionally," said Yager. "But we think driving your Corvette to work, at least one day a year, is an excellent way to demonstrate just how popular Corvettes are. Wave to other Corvette owners: it's a perfect chance for Corvette owners to meet new Corvette owners."

If you participate in "Drive your Corvette to Work", take some pictures and submit them to Mid America Motorsports via clubs@mamotorworks.com and they will be posted at www.mamotorworks.com/corvette
