Never wanted to drive that C2 again, and sold it before the divorce was final. This was over 30 yrs. ago, so I can laugh about the whole thing now.
Almost the exact same thing happened to a buddy of mine with his '67. Wife took off with his modified coupe (ugh). He followed her to a condo in Waikiki. After she entered the building he removed the rotor from the distributor. Wife and boyfriend emerge from condo and the car won't start. They call AAA..... Tow truck arrives and the driver is "stumped" why the car won't start. My friend steps out of the shadows holding the rotor. Wife gets bitch slapped, boyfriend gets puched out, tow driver dissapears. Divorce follows and bitch gets nuthin'! (pre-nup) Happy ending!

Now if your Z was leaking that would suck..... here is a funny story and its real My Girlfriend has this little bitch *** dog that she babys to death, nothing get treated better than that dog on her end. Now on my End nothing gets love like my vette so the other day I was taking her out to eat and when I arrived she came out of her apt with the dog, I'm like there is no ****ing way that rat is getting hair in my car. she is like but... (not like the mutt can go inside the restaurant and he sure the hell anit staying in my vette while we were eating)I peeled the **** off and went and ate by myself and drove around chilling for the rest of the day

Vette > Woman

You know its bad enough when another guy is fooling around with your wife, but its even worse when he is driving your vette. that is , Some day he will mess around with the wrong guys wife and BOOM, all he will see is a muzzle flash, and then GOOD NIGHT
