Not a fan of the Gov. but had to post this

Governor Andrew Cuomo opened the morning ceremony by arriving via the Rockland side in a 1955 Corvette with Armando "Chick" Galella, a World War II veteran who drove the same model year Corvette as part of the inaugural procession that crossed the Tappan Zee Bridge on Dec. 15, 1955.

The 96-year-old Sleepy Hollow resident is a veteran and Bronze Star recipient who survived the Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

I'm a fan of the vet and the Vette.

The Gov, not at all.

Gov. Cuomo

Gov. Cuomo is a big car guy. Last I read a few years ago, he had a 70 GTO that he drove pretty often. Jerry

He has a blue '75 Corvette coupe. I think he's the original owner.

Depends how you define lucky ... I was thrilled to have my neighborhood friends see me with her. While she was in high school, she was way too pretty to be in high school.
