stranded on the highway!!!!!
On the 21st of june 2003, i was on my way to Sudbury from Kingston. About a 7 hour trek when the old reliable vette left me on the side of the 400 north highway just south of Barrie.(a 400 highway in Canada is like an Interstate) :mad Almost exactly halfway from home and halfway to my destination :cry
of the hundreds of cars that past my smoking car that day, the only one who stoped to give me a hand was a kind gentleman in a yellow C-5 vert. :cool:
to you kind stranger i say thank you!!!

At least another Corvette stopped and you didn't have to worry about getting robbed....
Did he get you running, or give you a ride????

The C-5 driver in question offered me a ride and use of his cellphone but all i needed of him was my exact location to call a tow truck. i blew the lower rad hose. :banghead:
