But I'm sure he thought about why passing up an opportunity to park next to a "cousin"

I remember the y2k scare in 2000. How does y2k relate to C5's. I've seen it refered to several times here. What better place to find out but the forum.

Yes--you're right. One Vette is illegally parked. This is that "I'm a Corvette owner, I'm better than you" mentality some people have that unfortunately pisses off people. The result is a keyed car or worst.

The one on the right (in the handicap spot), DID have a valid sticker hanging on the mirror. The other one was never 'unoccupied' He was just waiting there to pick someone up and had a good view, and I suppose, YES, he saw an opportunity to 'park' next to it's cousin. He was just about to back out when we passed and asked if he could sit tight a minute while I grabbed the camera. He too knew the rarity of the 'cousin' he was next too!

My ride....
but looking to sell..

Look real close at that red tag...It looks like a "remove before flight" tag (2 of which I purchased on CF) that was posted here by members of the "Flying Roof Club," a group that I'm proud to not be a member of (yet)
