Default Small town Texas
So, I'm out in the coupe with the wife and stop at a convienence store in a small town in Southeast Texas to get a drink and fill up on 2.89 Exxon Premium (cheapest I've seen in a while). I've got on a Corvette polo shirt and a Corvette cap and the young high schooler behind the counter asks.."do you work for Corvette?"

After a moment's hesitation, I truthfully reply...."nope, just drive one" ....she replies ...."cool"..... and I'm thinking ......ain't it the truth".....

ya'll have fun on the road and be safe this summer....
