Default Sitting here at the mall

Been sitting in our Shark Gray Stingray for just over an hour waiting on my wife to finish up her shopping. 10 people in just over an hour came up to the car. I have windows down and hear what everyone says. I can't believe how many people DO know it's a "new Corvette".

Gorgeous Stingrays we have for sure !!

One of the best ways to learn the intricacies of the car is to take the wife shopping and wait in the car.

How in the duce can you sit in the car for an hour? I would be doing a gymkhana while waiting. Not a chance of sitting still for an hour. Night time at home is when I plan on reading the Manuel and setting up the infotaniment system.

It's a good feeling isn't it! Not the sitting and waiting part.

All is good. Today was an experience with people looking at what the new Stingray really is. Another is the reaction once seeing one in persons and up close. What a car.....

A lot of people know about the car. I walked into my bank the other day with a Stingray cap on. The teller, all excited, asked if I've seen the new Corvette. "Got one in the parking lot right now" I told her. I thought she was going to wet herself! And at the credit union where I did my financing they always come out to look at the car.
Sooo... cool.

I get lots of work done while the wife goes clothes shopping.

Just wish more women's clothing stores put sofas and chairs by the fitting room for us men while we wait.

Why does it take women 15 minutes to try on a dress but only 5 minutes for a man to try on an entire suit?
