Default First's in a corvette.

Ha well I do not know for sure but I would like to think I'am the first person to do a couple of things in/with a corvette (c5). I'am a college student and I deliver pizza's for dominoes so as a joke I delivered a couple of pies in the vette. Another thing I have done is rode four deep in the vette. Me driving, good friend in front seat, and two girls tucked in the hatch. Now I know there must be someone else doing some crazy not normal things with a car you would not normal think of doing. So lets here some, what have you done in your corvette that might be unique.

We'll I don't really think it's unique...

...but then, again, I like to think it was kind of unique

Peace

It was unique when you consider the parties involved.

I did that as well. Didn't quite have the same articulation that my '01 Jeep TJ did.

I fit three people in my vert to go get some late night food, had to stash my buddy in the trunk which was difficult to say the least!

I had as a passenger today, my propane tank for my barbQ. It's spring, time to cook up steaks, which I am doing tomorrow. Anyway, coming back with a full tank from the gas station made me feel as precarious as you guys carrying a wet NOS system!

I don't know if this is a first for a C-5, but hesitant to do it again!
