Make your reservations at least a year in advance for a hotel or else you'll drive 50-100 miles everyday.
Register for the fun show... it's much cheaper... even if you only plan to go for one day.
Carlisle is nothing short of awesome.... some might argue that this year sucked though. (tornadoes, corvettes, one fatality)

jdrew, won't be able to make it as I'll be out of town, I believe.
Muddydawg75, gorgeous C5 - no Maggie but mine is head/cam/header/4.10's, exhaust, intake, tuned, cutouts. Her's is just headers, high-stall converter and 3.42's.
SpeedNut, the dealership techs usually wash with dirty rags and water and simply grind the dirt in as they wash.The H3 was covered in a heavy coat of rod grit when I took delivery Monday. Ido gobs of rinsingbefore Iever touch italong with a clean, new microfiber wash mitt and lots of soap to float the dirt off rather than push it into the paint. The finish stays swirl-free and looks like it was just painted rather than being buffed with a sanding disc. Dis the same on my red vette and it has far fewer swils than the wife's vette which we bought used. The PO had not been as careful so the swirls need to be polished out.
Here is the results of yesterday's cleaning.

That car I posted was one I built for a friendand took a top 100 Celeb trophy in 2004.
That same idiot just totaled his ZO6.... (we're not buddies anymore BTW)

Welcome Patches. Nice garage, too small. Love the rides. Besides a few Hummers I also have a 2003 Anniversary Edition convertible Corvette. Magnaflow exhaust, ProCharger supercharger, custom headers, cam, etc. Dynos at 610HP. It is a different kind of fun to drive than the Hummers. If one had to go it would be the Corvette though. You will enjoy your Alpha.
