Did you ever have something happen that was hilarious and it couldve only happened because you were driving a corvette? Tell your funny stories, share your experiences.

I havent had my corvette for very long yet, but I've already had people stop and talk to me in the middle of the road while trying to park the corvette. One of them told me it wasnt fair I was driving a car this nice. I never seem to know what to say when people give me compliments on the corvette...
Also I talked with a police officer about my front license plate, I asked him if I would be stopped for not having a front license plate on the corvette. He answered; Nah, I wont stop you for that, a nice car like that shouldnt have a license plate on the front. So, right now I'm driving without a front tag. I did store the plate in one of the rear compartments, just in case

I'm sure you've seen much funnier things than me and had some experiences with the police, please share

 

My wife and I were out cruising in my 65 convt. While stopped at a light, some punk kid in a GT Mustang wanted to run me. I just smiled and looked ahead. When the light changed, he smoked the tires through the intersection only to get nailed by a State trooper sitting off to the side of the road about 20yards ahead His ticket, probably $150.
The look on his face as I drove by, PRICELESS

 

Had two morons pull up alongside me at night, on the highway, going about 70, in a brand new Pony GT. One moron starts screaming obscenities, and telling me my car $uck$ (driver). The other moron drops his pants and decides to moon me. The kid is literally hanging his butt out over the door sill at what is now about 60 mph, and then the lights came on behind us. Mass trooper in an unmarked SUV slid up behind us, I suppose figuring there was gonna be a race. He pulls in behind the Mustang as I move over to the right hand lane, and as I watch them both pull to the breakdown lane in my rearview, I continue on home and go to bed!

 

I've had my Vette for about 9 months now. I drove over to my freinds house in it for the first time last week. His wife and stepdaughter never knew I had a Vette (I don't brag about it) When his daughter came home she (15) jumped on my lap and said that car is "pimpin hot sexy"
His wife says "it figures" and go's outside to check out my ride. They both made such a big deal of it. Kind of cool but I felt weird with his stepdaughter jumping on me. I'm not sure I'll drive it over to his house again.

Classic! ! !

 

I got a ticket for no front plate in a small town while traveliing to my gradfather's. After a hard time on the side of the road , I get to his house complaining (OK more like full blown BI$*&IN). Within 2 phone callls he found out who the local judge was and was talking to him at home! That ticket was no more than toilet paper 30 min after I got it. I was

 

I have posted this before, but when I was on my way home form a friends house, there was a SUV in front of me, and I noticed that some of it's occupants keep turning around and looking at me (My Car really not me). We stopped at a red light, and a girl stands up in the SUV and puts her head and arms out of the sun roof and has a camera and takes a picture of me in the vette, she smiles and waves. I go home and was laughing about it, my wife said the girl probably thought I was a "Hotie" I told her I doubted that, and asked her if she had looked at the vette lately?

 

front plate tickets are such BS I had a cop once threaten me with a ticket (fortunately she didn't follow through) for having it in the windshield instead of attached to the bumper. that car originally came from TN where there are no front plates, so it had no front plate bracket, just a smooth and beautiful bumper. that night I drilled holes through that flawless bumper to put the @#$% there. I would have rather mounted it to my chest or something, that would heal eventually. I had to get that car's bumper replaced at one point, fortunately the body shop didn't put a bracket on it either because it didn't have one to begin with. I put that car in my garage after that and rarely drive it until I can get out of this screwed up state.

careful with your cop friend though, he might not ticket you, but the rest will.

now back to your normally scheduled funny stories!

only thing close I have so far is one day a guy in a pickup was screaming out his window that he wanted me to race a silver C6 which happened to pull up next to me at a stop light. I would never do so on the roads but I shot him a rev through my wimpy sounding stock exhaust then made my right turn and just drove off. he seemed really disappointed that he didn't get to see the two corvettes race.

 

well no driving stories with the new Z06 but while I had my 78 vette. I had ALOT of people look at me like I was driving my Dad's car!!!! Than in Colorado I had a C6 pull up next to me. He said some nice things about my C3 and said he wished he had one like it.... I said I would trade him right then and there.... no dice...

 

In the middle of rush hour last year, this kid wants to race me in his rental Ford Taurus. He said he just wanted to see how bad he would get beat. I told him I wasnt going to because it was rush hour and I also didnt feel like wasting my gas just for that.

 

twice this year, I've had people (driving SUVs) pull up and ask if I would be interested in selling my car, and taking their vehicle in as partial trade

HELLLLLLLLOOOO ... there's no FOR SALE sign in the window

L O L

 

I haven't put very many miles on my Vette yet, but just the other night I was in stop & go traffic. A guy on a crotch rocket stopped beside me and asked me what year it was and said how nice it looked then took off again.

 

once I pulled out to pass the same time as a 'rice rockett' for some reason he came right behind me, I felt so bad for shutting him down, I was gonna let him go around me but he just pulled over and parked when I slowed down, it was really weird.

another rice rockett kept me from passing on a twisty road. every time I would get up to pass he would lag back from the front car so I had too big of a gap to pass both vehicles. did that all the way into town. then passed the front car when I couldn't get around due to traffic. I finally got behind him as he got on the freeway. I stayed right on his ***, he couldn't pull away. he got very uncomfortable and pulled over to let me go by.

once in rush hour traffic I was trying to change lanes and this guy in the next lane driving a beater wouldn't let me. he would pull ahead and close up the gap every time I would put the blinker on to move over. he would watch me to see what I was doing then close the gab. finally the car in front of him stopped while he was watching me and ran right into the back of it.

 

Serves him right.

 

I was giving a golf lesson to a lady once, and had to make several trips to the cat to get clubs, camera, tripod. I had the passive turned on on my fib, so everytime I walked away the horn blew and the lights flashed. Finally she asked me why my car kept flashing the lights and blowing the horn everytime I walked away. Without missing a beat I said, "It misses me." You shoulda seen the look on her face!

 

I have had my car for 7 years now and I have a few good stories. When the car was stock, I got 0 compliments. When I did the heads,cam and exhaust, that changed everything.

1) I was driving down the 90 freeway in CA, towards the water. I get to the red light at the end and some guy, in a black Jaguar with 3 hot chicks in the car are yelling to me to fry the tires. Me being the 25 year old that I was, eagerly dropped the clutch and put on a smoke show. I get to the light at Lincoln and they pull up next to me again. The girls in the back seat were yelling and started making out with each other. The guy yells to me "where are you going?" Unfortunatley for a great life experience sake, I was going to pick my now wife up at work.

2) Not two months later, I'm at the Autozone on Washinton, buying oil, and the same guy with the Jaguar is pulling in. He doesn't recognize me, and he asks if I know about the "competetive driving" mode in my car. I state yes. Then in the most evil and sarcasticly twisted, alcohol or drug enduced reaction, he yells "I guess you got the luck of the irish then don't ya?" Then he starts laughing his a$$ off. I couldn't help but laugh myslef, then I just got in my car and drove away.

3) At the end of the 90 freeway again, about 2 years after the "luck of the Irish" incident, and this white 5 series BMW pulls up next to me. This hot older woman, rolls the back window down, asks me where I'm headed and I tell her Baja Cantina (again to pick up my now wife). The woman yells "I'll meet you there!" She has her driver pull in behind me and she asks me to go for a ride and tell her about my car. I tell her I can't. She then gives me her card and informs me that she owns a racing team in Santa Monica and she want's me to bring my car and road test it with her team. I forsaw extra marital activity that could have made a great story but messed up my now pretty perfect life. I never called.

4) Today, my wife and I were driving thru the BJ's parking lot in Jersey City NJ, and some little boy, yells to us, "nice car, are you rich and famous?" It was funny, I wish I was...but that's how I feel when I'm in my car.

That's just a few, I have tons, and I'm sure there will be many more...now that she has a brand new motor and she sounds like hell is coming with me when I'm driving down the road.

 

i bet that guy was a vette fan and thought how wrong it was of the beater to keep getting in the way. Maybe he did it to teach the guy a lesson, I know I would.

I wonder how many vettes have caused accidents from ppl watching them.

 

that was a good day in corvette land for sure

 

My story is just depressing.

I was at a light today in my "loaner" vette, its raining but i look over and i can see the two girls in the car next to me trying to look through the tint to see if i was young or not. When they finally figured out i was young (24) they started smiling and waving, i just looked at them for a bit then turned away and looked forward. Now I sit here on on the sofa typing this. I cant keep blowing chances like this being single!!

I had the exact same thing happen about 2 months ago with 5 girls in a car and it was my buddy and I in my car, but the girls looked really young (well one of them hopefully was 16) but i wasnt about to risk that.

 

I didnt know the cop though... he was sitting in our hotels parking lot as a speed trap. Figured I'd go out and talk to him for a bit... Havent had a problem yet.
