Default Got stopped...

You all thought I got stopped by the LEOs right? Actually, I was on my way out the road from my house and a guy on a motorcycle saw me as I pulled out the driveway. As I went around the next bend, he was stopping and apparently wanting me to stop as well. So I stopped and he said "Dude that is an awesome ride!!!" I of course thanked him. He really didn't want anything but to see the Vette! I thought that was pretty . He was a nice guy and obviously into cars, but didn't know much about Vettes as he thought my bone stock '03 vert has 385 hp. I explained the breakdown of how the HP and everything was in our cars and the difference between Z06 and Coupe/Vert and we had a nice little conversation along the road. Then, he said he has a Mustang!! I hope he gets a Vette someday. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience, adds to my perma-grin that someone other than me likes my car!

Now that is so cool! It just feels great to be able to share the profound interest in a Corvette with others who admire a Vette!
