Default Corvette infestation!

I got my Vette last June, and I guess I must have started a frenzy.
Where there once was none; there has magically appeared , THREE other C5's within 4 blocks of me. 2 more torch reds and an electron blue.
Everytime I turn my head there is another! It's an epidemic!
But here is the great part.....Where once I didn't even know these neighbors; now there waving at me from their front yards!
I love what these cars do to people!

Luckily the cars bring out the best in most of us ... minus a few hot heads and snobs, but you'll find them anywhere.

I've always thought the best thing about Corvette ownership is the people you meet and the friends made!

Know the feeling...there are 5 assorted vettes within a block of where I live. Red 71 roadster, Black 64 roadster, Silver 02 roadster, Black 02 roadster, Red 99 coupe. Guess my 00 vert feels happy with the company.
