Default My Vette is Different

Anyway, let me tell you about my black 99 coupe. I just picked it up in October in Chicago. It's got the six speed, chrome rims and a Blackwing. Just over 42,000 miles on it and it's got the grey interior, dual zone climate and sport seats.

BTW here's a pic. Haaaa. Somebody stop me!!!

As long as you don't carry a picture of it in your wallet you're OK.

You should see my desk at work. Corvette Daily Desk calender, Corvette mousepad, 50th anniversary emblem picture cut out and taped on the monitor, pictures of my Corvette and also my Dad's Corvette on the cubicle wall. Of course my wallpaper on the PC is always something Vette related. Usually have my Corvette cap hanging up or on the desk. My co-workers described me as beyond Corvette crazy, more of a Corvette Psycho.

Many probably have lower miles, nicers mods and better paint. Heck some probably even have the Black/grey color combo like I do. But for some reason I just know that no one's else's C5 is as nice as mine... damn I finally understand those annoying people with kids.

Ranting and repenting BTW nice ride
