I don't get over to the C3 section much - but I thought I would share what I saw today.

I went over to Curry's in Ashburn to drop off my summer wheels to get new rubber on the BMW and my buddy took me into the shop to show me what they were working on:

On the lift with the rear suspension removed was a gorgeous Daytona Yellow 1970 L46 4S with 4:11. The dang car was identical in every visual respect to my first ever Corvette that I bought in 1974. Dang, I wish it were mine

(Yeah, I know: - but I forgot my cell phone and camera...)

Ok. Here's the deal. You MUST go back, with a good camera, and take pics to post up here on the forum.

You saying you saw such a beautiful car is like me saying I ran into Jessica Alba naked at the grocery store, and not having pics to email to everyone.

C 3s are like getting lyme's disease. It starts with a small bite, and once it's in your blood, you always test positive for it! You can NEVER get them out of your blood!!

I wondered why I had to have another after 30 years.
