Just returned from a week in Vegas with my best friend {84 coupe},and as I was walking out of the IP,a Z06 pulled in,and the guy got out andstarted to unload the luggage,and then the women got out,and sure enough...SLAM.....went the door....Is it my imagination,or do women and door slamming go hand in hand?

When I was there last year we were walking down the strip when all of a sudden I am aware of that "Corvette" sound. I turn around to look at the traffic and sure enough there is a black ZR-1 coupe making its way through the traffic. It was the only C4 that I saw there for my 3 day visit but I still remember the sound.

I always tell my wife that I will get the door for her. She thinks it is because I am a gentleman, little does she know it is because I do not want her to slam the door or scratch under the handle with her nails. I'll never tell!!!

But she also likes it when I open the door for her! Standard procedure with my woman!

There were many Vette's on the strip this weekend. Lots of bikes too! Mostly at night,sun goes down,and the cars come out. Valet{he has a 95 coupe} was telling me that there are more and more classic's and bikes there every day,and Friday is the biggest. From Vegas east on 95,through the dam,it is a nice ride.West of Vegas to Phraump,and west are nice smooth roads.You can cruise at 80 for hours,no traffic!

My wife either slams the door or doesn't close it so it has to be reopened and then slammed extra hard. I do the gentleman thing.
