Do a burnout in the parking lot. They like that.


Plan on spending at least a couple of hours there. There is tons of great stuff to see.

Crap. I can't keep the F-250 tires stuck. What's wrong with your Ram?

My Ram is a 6 speed manual. That is not conducive to burnouts for me. Piece of cake with an auto trans. Besides that’s why I have the Corvette!

Had a great time there today. Went through with the wife at her pace to see everything. She left me there and I went trough again 2 more times to see everything at my speed. A few hours later called for a ride back to the RV. Then a martini to relax and rest the feet. The sink hole thing were very interesting. How the cars were pulled out, which ones were repaired. And purchased a few items in the store. Talked with a couple of people getting their R8C delivery. Great day!

How is this place funded? Is it a subsidiary of GM in some way? If not, how did they get in the business of delivering new cars?

Revenue Center? Explain. Can you purchase your car there? Are they a licensed dealership? If not and I purchase from Cornholer Corvettes in Cockburn, does the dealership arrange Museum pickup? Is there a cost associated with this?
