Last week my wife and I took a trip in the vette to Birmingham. She really hadn't ridden in it much before then. After a couple of days she asks me, "Do you notice people always check the car out when your driving around at home?" I say "Yea, it takes a while to get used to."

Vettes demand attention.

I think these cars are euphoric both to us and THEM. It's those people who can receive joy from viewing something of beauty. Kinda like a piece of art that makes you smile.

Just wave to all the other vetters, smoke all the ricers and say thanks to all the compliments. Congratulations on your baby, and welcome to the family.
