Corvette in Italy!
Moved to Italy las september to play soccer.
Unfortunatly I had to leave my baby in the garage back in CA.
I have been living here in Perugia since then. Never see many American or powerful looking cars. If I ever see any nice cars; I will usually see some kind of Porsche or BMW. For the most part its little Fiats, or Vespas.
Anyways, 3 days ago I saw the first Corvette since I have been here.Looked like a 2001-3 Silver Coupe. Stock.
Deffinatly made me smile and feel like I was home again.Just thought I'd share.

I don't know how you've been getting by without your Vette. I can't go a day without driving mine! It is always nice to see other Vettes, especially when you don't have yours with you. Good luck playing soccer!

I know just how you feel. I never see any Vettes in England so not much waving going on
I have one big avantage though. I can open the garage door and see a Mag Red Vert. Get that Vette shipped over

I've spent a total of about 6 months in Italy over the past 2 years and have driven many miles on the autostrada. I always wanted some exotic to fly past me and blow the little fiat punto that I was driving off of the road. The only car that passed me in excess of 120mph was a Dodge Viper and it had to be going about 150 mph. Oh, and I also saw a Chevell SS.
