Default WOW.. How Rare is this???

Was taking my gymnast daughter to the bone doctor guy today, and as we were walking in, saw not one, but TWO of these Nassau Blue beauties next to each other! One guy was getting ready to leave but got out so I could snap some shots.

These were both Y2K models, same interior and everything! What a truly small world! Of 35,xxx vettes made in 2000, only 430 (something) coupes were Nassau Blue. What are odds of seeing this every day? Remote I would say!

One is in a handicapped spot the other spot is filled with Gors so that isn't even a legal parking spot. I thought vette owners had more respect for the law.

that kind of opportunity, I bet he was hell bent on parking next to it, lol

I park next to another vette if I can, he'll understand the "don't hit me with your door" worry.

Looks like the one in the handicapped has a tag hanging from his rear view mirror. The other one perhaps couldn't resist parking next to his twin brother. Two nice looking vettes.

Maybe he just parked there to take the picture, it was said he was nice enough to get out so the picture could be taken of both Corvettes. Great pictures at any rate.

I like the idea of the guy parking with his vette with his brother and risking a ticket to ensure that they were together!

GO GATORS!
