Default Corvette Fever contracted


So, I'm walking home through my apartment complex, so tired I can barely see, 1:15 A.M. just off work. Walk by my neighbor's car port. Double take. There sits a red maybe 76? corvette stingray!!!.

Now, he watched me get mine three months ago. He's drooled over the car numerous times... I took him for a spin maybe a month ago... the whole time he's got a big smile on his face. He's been talking about some "settlement", about wanting one of his own, and what not. I thought he was full of it. No way. In his carport there is now a pretty little Stingray Gem.

That makes two now in our little apartment complex of four units. How cool is that? Needless to say I will definitely have to talk to him tomorrow, and this time he has my full respect.

Anther case of Corvette Fever !!!!!

One of our neighbors sent his son over one day while we were having a yard sale and asked if mine was for sale. I had to send him back home with a NO. Well not to long ago I saw that his dad is now sporting a nice 79 model. I`ll have to get over there and check out that new ride. Funny how things like that happen.

Ah but he got the strongest one of all: C3 fever! No known cure. I have many friends and neighbors showing mild signs of it. Can't be from me, could it? :blueangel:

Good job Rob!!! How is the '70 treating you? It sounds like life is good. Man, I can't wait to get home from Afgahnistan to enjoy my '96...by the way, I am missing my '70 each time I see your post with that picture of it. I am glad you live a long ways from me!!!
