You Go Granny!
Was headed north on I-75 in central Georgia this past weekend....driving the "family" car. Looked in my rear view and saw a MY C5 closing fast....real fast.
I moved over to the center lane (from the fast lane) and just barely got a quick glance as they blew by (I was doing about 10 over at the time, passing a truck).
It looked like an older couple (she was driving) but I really couldn't tell.
Didn't see the state they were from, but the tag read "Our RV".
If you're a forum member, no offense meant, I just got a good chuckle out of seeing you two "fly" by me.

When my wife first got her Z06, she wanted the vanity plate "GRANNYZ" - unfortunately, someone already had "GRANNY2" so CA wouldn't give her the plate, because of their "look-alike" rule.
After the Z06, she got a new GTO (6-speed) so she'd have room for grandkids in the back seat. It's no Z06, but it is a sweet little car!

In fact, my mother (who is 68 and lucky if she's 5 foot) test drove a Viper GTS last summer. I had to TALK HER OUT OF IT... she was literally going to buy it as a daily driver...
I think some of my hotrod mentality has rubbed off on her...lol.
(hmmmm, perhaps it's the other wayaround...)
