Hope to see Corvette around for another 55 years....it maybe hydrogen or battery powered but as long as it is a performance car who cares!

That's me in the middle!

As for No.1, like Johnny Cash, I took it home with me, piece by piece.
Good thing it was the first model, else it might have had dual head lights already.

You can see it in my avatar, its in color now.

Always liked that old song! BTW, that is me on the far right! I like to show off the guns! I guess I need a couple of tattoos!
