“More than 20 Corvette clubs from the Pacific Northwest and Canada were ready to book hotels, Corvette was ready to back the plan with money, and a private company was ready to build a $15-million hotel with Corvette themes in every room. Local politics killed it.”
Now for the full story from the Calgary Herald;

“A stronger dollar means Canadians have to stop charging New York prices or they’ll lose American tourists.

That was the blunt message Monday to the Alberta tourism industry from Roger Brooks, a U.S. travel marketing guru often referred to as the Dr. Phil of Tourism.

“Sooner or later, it’s going to come back to bite you,” Brooks said in an interview. “Not only is the Canadian dollar strong, but your prices here are much higher.”

Brooks, who spent a month in southern Alberta last spring doing a regional tourism marketing assessment, said he spent $250 a night on accommodation in Waterton Lakes National Park that he would barely rate two stars. The iconic Prince of Wales Hotel wasn’t even open because it was shoulder season, and some of the service he encountered in the tourist town was abysmal.

American visits, already down across Canada, is only going to get worse if prices and attitudes don’t change, he said.

“Aromatherapy? Don’t ask

Rest easy, baby boomers. A market research company with the imaginative name of Mediamark Research Inc. recently completed a study of our generation.

The study, aimed at providing stuff-sellers with more ammunition for selling us stuff, looked at people born between 1946 and 1964. While we can argue that people who are 61 can differ substantially from 43-year-olds, we can’t deny that our generation has a lot in common.

We boomers, the study shows, are more likely than other generational groups to vote, play the lottery and remodel our homes. Most boomer households own or lease three or more vehicles, and about 25 percent of us have no medical or accident insurance.

Fascinating. But Mediamark missed some things. Boomers, at least the males of the species, have other shared traits….

GREEN AND MEAN: JAY LENO’S E85-CAPABLE Z06-INSPIRED C6RS CORVETTE BOASTS 600 HP AND ALTERNATIVE-FUEL CAPABILITY

LAS VEGAS – “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno’s predilection for performance cars is no secret, but many fellow enthusiasts may not know that he is keenly interested in alternative fuels. To prove that red-blooded power mixes easily with a touch of green, Leno partnered with Pratt & Miller – the engineering company that builds and campaigns C6.R Corvettes – to develop a modified Corvette Z06 that is capable of running on E85 ethanol.

RON FELLOWS NAMED “MOST POPULAR ALMS DRIVER!”

THE C6-R RACE PROGRAM , has been discussed and questioned a number of times this year, we still enjoyed the show.

After watching Corvette Racing finish off a sweep of the American Le Mans Series’ GT1 class on Saturday at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, GM Racing program manager Doug Fehan explained the reasoning for fielding a two-car team in a class that more often than not provided no other competition. Needless to say, it was eye-opening and showed the passion GM has for the Corvette brand and the legions of its followers.

Here are some recent comments from manger Doug Fehan….

When a TRULY Limited Edition Corvette comes out, it sure is nice that GM acknowledges the fact to the owner…even if it’s months down the road.

When the Ron Fellows Corvette Z06 was released earlier this year, jaws dropped, it was the classy Corvette we knew it would be, a Z06 in White with Red accents for our friendly but fierce competitor Ron Fellows from the C6-R Corvette race team!

In the is article and couple quick pictures of a really neat letter from Chevrolet. The one we received is for the EVS Ron Fellows #123,
