It's great to drive a car that's so much fun and gets the attention a Corvette does. I know it's hard to keep your foot out of the gas but be very careful on the street. You've got a great looking car so have fun and be safe out there.

Yeah I have this route were I drive through an industrial park, then right onto a windy back road, right turn then onto a highway where I can do the zero to sixty sprint then merge onto another street, take a right, another right and start again from the office park. The whole thing takes me about 5 minutes. There were a few times last year when I did this about 4 or 5 times in a row!

That's cool...


But you should see what yellow does! The fun wore off after I needed a chiropractor to follow me at all times!

Also, I don't have a Cell Phone yet -but I had to buy one of those rechargeable ones (I never put minutes on it)-
I just pretend i'm talking on it when I'm getting out in public, this stops all that "Oh, Nice Car! What do you have in it? My buddy had a Corvette once... " Blah, Blah, Blah...
Those people will take years off your life, if you let them! Have fun and drive safe!

Sincerely,
Mellow Yellow

Red or yellow. But you can't beat a nice looking ruby.

Very

I've been told by someone that I didn't know at the time that they were in a parking lot and I drove by and caused a rear end collision. I guess someone was looking!

She told me about 6 months after I met her.
