It's gorgeous; it's fun; it's a Vette, of course

So say members of the Sonoran Desert Corvettes Tucson, the sports cars' northwest-side devotees

Members of the Sonoran Desert Corvettes Tucson believe beautiful cars are meant to be driven and shown off - not covered up and locked away.

"If a Corvette is in your garage, it doesn't make us happy. Don't let it sit there in a garage like a queen," said club President Susan Franklin, 71, whose online handle is suevette63. "They are meant to be used and enjoyed."

The club organizes and participates in meet-ups, car shows and drives. Occasionally a member will be designated the leader, and club members will rendezvous at a chosen location then follow the leader on a surprise drive.

"There is nothing that I think is more fun than a whole string of Corvettes in a row," said Franklin, who lives in Sun City Oro Valley.

Think of the club as a play group, only with cars as the focus instead of children. Members' Corvettes range from classics to late models.

Mine isn't even a year old yet and I've got almost 10Kmiles on it already. And it gets driven during the winter, too. Of course, only when the roads are dry and just long enough to heat everything up. A garage queen my Corvette ain't!
