Default How do you spell Corvette?

Well I found out this morning. RESPECT! Went for a spirited drive west to blow anything and everything off and out of my car and stopped to get a cup of coffee. Walking out, a nissan 350 drives up with a guy and his son. The car wasnt riced out, nice, clean. Well I hear the boy say "dad, look at that Corvette!!! Well we started to talk while I let the little guy sit in it. After chatting about the "sunday morning drive time" the father told his son that his car was nice too, and I agreed with his father. Out of the mouth of babes comes " but dad, thats a CORVETTE!"
Great way to start the day

Looks like the boy is smarter than daddy

I like the 350z but it needs more power.

I had a Brickyard 350Z that I traded in on the Vette. It was a nice car, but certainly not a Corvette.
