Default Corvette driver nightmares

Anyone else have them???

Last night, during my slumber, I dreamed a lady backed into my corvette and ruined the hood :mad She didn't even care, then I could not get the police to answer their phone to come and make an accident report.

Two nights ago I dreamed that I got the wrong part for my broken clutch hose and I had to wait until I could send the wrong one back before the correct one would be shipped, dang it! I only have a few more weeks of good driving weather!

I've had nightmares of buying a corvette only to find out someone put a V6/V4 in it. :crazy:

Ton's of horrible dreams about people smashing into me, things hitting the car, the paint pealing off, people breaking into it.

I need help :yesnod:

You just need to move south so you can drive more :chevy :seeya

I would say your nightmares are from lack of time behind the wheel over them long cold winters.... :p:

How about this one. I have 2 jobs, both at retail stores, and nearly every day when I come outside I have big scratches somewhere on my car from the shopping cars. And thats not a dream.

You may want to stop polishing the tailpipes while it's running.
:jester

That may help with the nightmares :)

Three nights ago, I had a nightmare of my car getting completely totalled. It was really off the wall stuff but I still got the concept. The other night I dreamt I was getting chased by a big grizzly bear with 2 of my friends and we split up and I went up a tree. The bear went around and up a hill, which was directly in front me, and he spotted my dad's 2 vehicles. He immediately jumped on the C5 and started rocking it and it fell off the cliff and got demolished. I wanted to bust out laughing but there was still the bear problem. The he jumps on the blazer and starts rocking this one. This time, he falls backwards with the blazer smashing him underneath. I look off in the distance and I swear I saw my C4 smiling at the situation (it just got a detailing the day before). :crazy:

I've never dreamed about my car before until this week. Really strange stuff these vettes have on us. :cheers:

Dreamed I was driving cross country and I went on an on-ramp in a construction zone, got behind a big truck, rocks were flying and nicking the paint really bad, so I floored it , was going 230 mph, and then the tranny dropped the hood burst into flames and a cop walked up the side of the car and said, "son do you know why I pulled you over ?" then I woke up sweating and looked out the window to c my baby sleeping fine in her parking spot. Thats when I knew it was just a dream.

I once had a nightmare about my engine starting on fire and burning the car to the ground. I just kinda laughed it off ...

Last night the engine DID start on fire but luckily it was put out before the rest went.

This had better not be the start of a trend ...
