Chuy’s Cruise-in–August
We had a very nice, more like warm, afternoon at the Corvettes of Bakersfield monthly gathering at Chuy’s. 14 Vettes, a couple of non-members included, were lined up nice and pretty and as the evening wore on, things were starting to get a lot cooler. After a nice...
Firehouse Grill Cruise-in–July
What can I say… who wants to sit outside in the shadeless parking lot in 107° weather to bake in the sun? We are tough, but we like to be in air-conditioned comfort so we sat inside the Firehouse restaurant and had a few beers, tacos, pizza and sandwiches at the...

COB Members Meeting–July
What a bunch of patriots we are. In tonight’s meeting we did the requisite Pledge of Allegiance and were treated to the Star-Spangled Banner by Emily Ames, niece of Larry Young, our new president for the 2019-2020 year. As the gavel was handed over by former president...
The Creston, CA Pre-run to the Loading Chute (That became a Run)
Honestly, it was only meant to be a pre-run with several couples attending. Somehow things got out of hand once it was posted on the Corvettes of Bakersfield private Facebook page, “My Corvette”. Instead of just 2 or 3 Corvettes attending, we had 14 Corvettes and a...
