Corvette Ratio!

Today was a beautiful day and I went out cruising for a while and so a Plethora of C4s, a couple of C5s(including a Z06, and one C3 on the stuck on side of the road with a multitude of people pouring in gas from a five gallon can.
I thought I would see more C5s out and about than C4s oh well!

So what is the Corvette ratio in your area?

Last week I was pedaling my lard-azz around town trying to get some exercise and I saw 2 C4s, 1 C5 and a 63 fuelie coupe. The guy with the fuelie had parked it at the supermarket amid several other cars. He didn't even bother to park out in the "boonie" areas like most Corvette owners do.
It looked like a daily driver too as the red interior was faded and the black paint had lots of cracks in it. It was filled with its share of cheesburger wrappers, cigarette butts, papers and change. It wasn't even locked!

I see more C6s on the road here than C4s. I've only seen 1 C2 down here, and maybe 5 C3s in 2 years.

not many hardly ever, except sunday. sunday is corvette day in pittsburgh. our weather sucks, our roads suck, the congestion sucks, (why do i live here?), and you would have your corvette in continual repair if you drove it daily here. this town is not condusive to corvette ownership.

so most corvettes around here are in excellent shape with low miles. so sunday is corvette day. see a lot on that day.

I just came back from a 3000-mile trip (took the VW, not the Vette

) back to the midwest and saw seven Corvettes; one C3 and six C5's.
I was very disappointed...

Around here (SoCal) the ratio is about 20 C5's for every C4. I think I see more C6's than C4's...
