Somehow a Corvette that has been used as a rental may not be my first choice.

I've got to wonder why somebody with the income to afford a real Z would rather choose to be a poser and risk humiliation? He would leave one to further wonder about his claim of even being a dentist. Unless, you know he really is one.

I give him a 10 for creativity.

I would have gotten nervous if I saw a fellow Vette owner pulling up.

Would've been "time to go inside for drinks!"

LOL

you took the high road...well done !....I agree with an early poster though...what was this guy like in school? If he was a dick, perhaps exposing him would have been fun, but again the high road is the right road....BRAVO !!

When I read this thread it made me laugh a little! I have two cars, my C5 convertible and a modded out '06 Mustang GT. My high school reunion was last year, but I didn't have a chance to attend.

Seriously, though, I was wondering if I did go, would people think I was trying to show off?! I was tempted to actually borrow something more "modest".

Had my 30th class reunion in 05....DAMN right I drove my Vette!!! (had the only one there BTW)!....Funny, the reunion commitee had to "pay the way" for our class president....This is the same guy that used to give me sh*t for being a "motorhead" back in high school...
