A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing he thought as he got on the highway pushing the pedal to the floor even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him. Lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I doing? I'm to old for this and jail."

He pulled over to wait for the trooper's arrival. Pulling in behind him, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch, and said, "Sir my shift ends in 30 minutes and today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The old gentleman paused for a second then he said. "Years ago my wife ran off with a State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back!"

Have a great day, sir, "replied the Trooper."

I'm reminded of a friend who got a new Corvette for his wife. He still considers it the best trade ever.

A Penguin decided to take a road trip in his C4. About six hours into his journey, the C4 begins to act up. Being a lucky sort of fellow, he spots a garage and rolls his Vette in. The mechanic comes over immediately and the little Penguin explains the problem to him in great detail. The mechanic tells him, "Give me about a half hour and I'll find out what's wrong". "Great" says the Penguin, so he waddles off downtown to try to kill some time. As he's wandering around, he spys an ice cream shop, hmm he says to himself, that would make me feel right at home. So he up and orders a 1/2 gallon jug of vanilla, sits down and has a little pig out. Seeing now that it has been about an hour, he decides he had better head back to the garage. Seeing the mechanic, he quickly heads toward him and asks "Did you find my problem"? The mechanic replied with a big smile "Oh, it seems you just blew a seal", the Penguin looks at him shocked, then replied, "No sir, it's only ice cream"

This happened last Saturday on the C4 Bomber Run organized by Pete, so it should be new enough.

A man and his wife were driving through country on their way from New York to California.
Looking at his fuel gauge, he decided to stop at the next gasoline station and fill up. About 15 minutes later, he spots a Mobil station and pulls over to the high octane pump.

"What can I do for ya'll?" asks the attendant.

"Fill `er up with high test," replies the driver.

While the attendant is filling up the tank, he's looking the car up and down.

"What kinda car is this?" he asks. "I never seen one like it before."

"Well," responds the driver, his chest swelling up with pride, "This, my boy. It is a 2012 Corvette."

"What all's it got in it?" asks the attendant.

"Well," says the driver, "It has everything. It's loaded with power steering, power seats, power mirrors, AM/FM stereo with satellite radio, high speed steering, disk brakes all around, leather interior, digital instrument package, and best of all, a 435 hp V8 engine."

"Wow," says the attendant, "that's really something!"

"How much do I owe you for the gasoline?" asks the driver.

"That'll be $90.17," says the attendant.

The driver pulls out his money clip and peels off four $20s and a $10. He goes into his other pocket and pulls out a handful of change. Mixed up with the change are a few golf tees.

"What are those little wooden things?" asks the attendant.

"They hold my ***** when I drive," says the driver.


"Wow," says the attendant, "Those Corvette people think of everything!"
