~August 20th-25th …the out of office sign will be up at my Chevrolet office at Criswell of Gaithersburg, Maryland. I will be attending the Corvettes at Carlisle Event. Please look for me at the Ron Fellows Spring Mountain Racetrack tent on the Manufacturers Midway next to the GM tent (where a few new ZR1’s will be on display).

~Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, Maryland has an incredibly large American flag that flies almost directly above my office. Finn and the inventory staff have to change the flag 3-4 times per year as the wind whips it to the point of tearing. Once that happens it gets changed and the old flag gets donated to various groups throughout the state of Maryland. The other day was change the flag day and I took a few pictures to share.

*One of my favorite delivery stories involves that flag…over a decade ago an injured soldier from Florida was being transported after a lengthy stay at a hospital just South of the dealership. As he passed our dealership on the highway he looked up and saw our flag waving, the very first American flag he had been able to view. He vowed once he got back on his feet that he would order a Corvette from the Chevrolet dealership with the big flag waving. He told me that story as we both stood under the flag during his Corvette delivery. Tissue moment for sure.

~One never knows how, when and where your next referral comes from. This one shocked me.

~ZORA’S FIRST PURPOSE-BUILT RACER: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum will be auctioning off 11 vehicles from its collection later this year with RM Sothebys and one of them is the 1957 Corvette SS built by Zora Arkus-Duntov!
