Default Corvette Entrance Exam

From the look of some recent posts, I think the Forum should come up with some sort of Entrance Exam every prospective Corvette owner must pass before they are given the keys.

This idea was inspired by the gentleman who didn't know where the release for the gas door was located. That would be my first question on the test.

What is the question that you'd like to see included on this exam??

How to open the hood!

About four years ago when I first got infected with the Corvette virus I was down in south Florida visiting my brother and went to look at a Corvette that was in the paper. I believe it was a '95 coupe. When I asked to see the engine, the man did not know how to open the hood. The bad part was he had had the car for 3 years. Needless to say I did not purchase that car.
