Vette guys know!
Drove home to Kentucky this past weekend to pick up my son and bring him here to live with me. I stopped to fuel up, get coffee and stretch my legs just as I got into Ashland. A guy pulls in next to me in a MY vert. When he gets out, I say "Nice MY you got there." He gets a puzzled look on his face, mutters thanks, and goes inside. I go in, get my coffee, pay, and come back out. He is standing there waiting for me. As I walk up, he asks how I knew the color name of his vette. I told him I have a C5 also.( I took the Lincoln for the room for the boys stuff) He leans in his window and says, "Told you that guy had a vette honey. Only a vette guy would know the NAME of the color!" We both started laughing like Hyenas! We shook hands and parted ways, both in better moods.

What really freaked me out one time was when I was at the gas station in another car and someone who I had never met asked me how my Vette was. I assume he saw me driving it before, but I just acted friendly and said that there was a 10% chance of rain so it was in the garage.
I seriously felt like this:
"Who are you and what do you want?"
