Forgot I had this. My son found it at a garage sale. It's some sort of composite material and is quite heavy. It's prob close to 2 1/2 - 3 ft long

Here is a pic of that end of the room. The walls are lined with Vette stuff down on that floor. But I'm NOT obsessed

I love the C5 rocker. Would be hard to resist something like that for the kiddos.

We have a lot in common, man (I will post a pic in a second). But I LOVE that Corvette sign above the TV! Is that aluminum? Where the heck did you get that?

Note the C5 rocker hanging on the wall close to the ceiling? I have small kids and would not allow them to trash this piece so I let them sit in it once, snapped a picture, and bolted it to the wall! And thats a Rock Ola Corvette Jukebox. Like I said Kris072, we have a lot in common! (oh yeah, and the walls are 50th anniversary burgundy and I need to seek professional help...I know.)

Awesome man. Corvette Monopoly on the wall? I am humbled in the presence of your greatness... Is that a Corvette park bench? I can't tell, I know they exist, so I'm going to assume it is...? You have some wonderful deco and excellent taste. So what about that aluminum sign over your TV? That's cool, where did you get that?

The letters are cool. I've seen some on ebay like that, but not with the accent lines above and below. It's a great look and let me know when they become available!

Do I have a 50th anniversary car? Do you mean 1:1 scale? No, I don't. But I have many of them in smaller scale.

Hey great collection and displays! I feel some sort of sick comfort when I see others as mental as I am. (The semi trucks are cool!)

Default Collectible?????

I've got an original tan canvas Dale Earnhardt #3 cap.
I got it signed by all 5 drivers for the American Lemans series including Ron Fellows and
yes I talked to Dale Junior for about 10 minutes before he added his signature. This was in Sanoma Cal. 2004 race at Infinion Race way
a day before Dale J. crashed and burned #3.
