hmmm....a ford probe?
there must be something in the water here in nebraska. twice in the past month i have had people mistake my '02 electron blue coupe for a ford probe. 
first incident at the gas station: a 30 something guy says "i know they haven't made those for a while, but that's a well taken care of probe ya got there. what year?"
second time at the local best buy: some guy walks by as i am getting out and says "cool probe" whatever dude....
sure would be nice if someone actually said "nice vette" once.

Grand Island, Nebraska, eh?
They don't get out much there, do they? Of course get out where? Omahahahaha is quite a distance, as I recall. Guess they could go to Kimball.

Nebraska's tax dollars aren't being spent well on "Education" I guess I could get "Probe" from reading the rear bumper of your "C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E"

I never noticed that, but yeah, they do have similar front bumpers with the corner lights and openings, emblem placement, and the pop-up lights.
The Probe's design actually came before the C5, so maybe GM copied the Probe.
