The only treatment is to buy more Corvettes.

Hi,
I don't think it's serious unless by chance the cars are the same color. Can you imagine the state you'd have been in if the dd had been WB?
Gives me the ******* just thinking about it!!

Alan

I have had the disease for quite a while now. Got bit about 17 years ago and 4 corvettes. I really wouldn't mind having another sometime. I don't think it ever goes away though.

My Docter said I have the same thing so I went out looking at C5's but then decided I better get the best of all so I bought a C3. I am feeling much better but definitely not cured, I still find myself sneeking peeks at c5's !

Should have used some protection. Now you have what we all suffer from; a disease that will be with you for life. Like a lifetime of baggage carrying. dukeallen said it right; get more Vettes but then you have to watch out for the midnight garage fights between them. It does happen.
