Default Men--New Respect!!

Just wanted to say " Thank You " to all the men out there for love of the Corvette,No matter if they own one or not.

This weekend I decided to go on a drive thru our beautiful canyon. Great curves, mountains ,rivers the typical great place to test and push your corvette to the max.

One of the great reasons why you fell in love with the corvette.
It's Performance. The Control and power on the road.

Cruzin in the warm, summer sun, with your top off (of the car) and then just as you start thinking " hey " here we go, faster, sharper...
a Damn mini van with a woman in it. Won't pull over, won't use the pull outs, have to work harder to get around her... (with no problem)

but then you fly up behind a man driving, and what does he do:
He does The majestic " Bow Down and pulls over " it always happens.... Thanks Guys. found a new form of respect for you... Too bad all women aren't like us corvette girls huh? !!!

That's the cool thing to do.

Being one who spends most of there driving time in the fast lane I always move right if someone is coming up behind me faster then I'm going, whether its a Vette or VW Bug.
