Default Stranded Vette on the Tappan Zee

I saw a sad sight last night, a broken down chrome bumper coupe on the right had of the TZ bridge in New York. I was in the left and had no chance at getting over but someone was there helping anyway.

I'm just wondering if it was a forum member?

I see a few c-3's here in Lebanon, MO and wonder if they are part of the forum also. Maybe I am just a little to wonder that but as far as I know there is a '75 convertable (blue) that needs a little TLC, and a '78 coupe (white w/brown leather interior). I may have to find out if they are up for adoption to a good home.
