Going in to work this morning with the top down and was stopped at a traffic light. A school bus pulls up next to me and the door opens. Driver looks down at me and says "Life must be good". I just gave him a thumbs up as he closed the door and we drove off.

Very cool. Yes, life is beautiful, especially with the top down on such a beautiful C5 Corvette convertible.

no matter how bad your day has been, when you get behind the wheel of a corvette it puts a smile on your face and the BS all goes away.
