How to look like a doofus....
A little story to go along with this lesson kiddies.....
Went by a friends office yesterday to pick him up for lunch, we drove out to a little place where the food is good and the prices reasonable, it's a busy place and folks were coming and going during the busy lunch hour.
I had parked my Corvette in an out-of-the-way spot in the corner of the parking lot. As we came out my friend noticed another Corvette parked next to mine and proceded to give me crap about having to walk so far because "you Corvette guys are so damn persnickity". Sure enough parked next to my C4 was a beautiful white C6. Not until we were getting in the car did I notice the card business under the wiper blade....on the back the owner of the c6 had written " Sure is a clean C4...whats up with the rear rims ? " HUH.....wtf ?, getting out to look I saw my rear rims were mounted back-ards.......tire rotation is right, but the rims are turned wrong sho-nuff. Took another Corvette guy to notice my "cool" factor was taking a dive....awww mannn
later, tiny
