Default Corvette Summer

Watching Corvette Summer tonight...

I know, it's a Terrible Movie
The Mods on the car are Ugly

But what the heck, every once in a while it's fun watching a dumb movie.

I was wondering how long it would take to get a response like that, which of course is exactly what I expected. Heck I guess you could say I was even looking for a response like that.

I've seen the movie, not that good, ive seen the car at Mid America. the guy that worked there raised the hood and it looks like any ld unrestored car. He said he had drove the car and it didn't drive that good. Nice conversation piece.

Every summer I have a Corvette to drive is Corvette summer. I love early morning weekend drives for coffee. I love driving it to the little league fields to watch my kids play. I love picking them up from school. I know this has nothing to do with the movie but it's what I think of when I hear Corvette Summer. Although they are not crazy about the car , If I didn't have my family to share it with it would mean nothing.

...don't know if you've ever seen that car in person, but "Bubba" and his high school friends really did build that car-what a piece of ****.

I remember seeing the movie at a drive in theater in the back of my parents' station wagon when I was about 10. It's a movie best viewed at a drive in.

I caught part of it in a hotel in Portland, I still have to watch the whole thing some day. The only part I vividly remember is him hitchhiking and the guys in convertables who are "cruisin with STYLE!"
