Walmart treat..
So I went to walmart today. I park in the very back because some people just dont know how to park... I pulled through with no cars around me and went into the store.. On my way out I looked and saw this!
I checked out the '05 and then got into mine. Super nice car. It was lowered and very well taken car of! Owner came out right after I got into my car and we talked and he showed me his and let me hear his Corsa exhaust. I showed him mine and went our ways. Very nice guy. I'm just glad to know that there is still a brotherhood going on with Vettes between generations!

At a Walmart eh? You sure? It's usually a beater that decides to park next to you, or a damn shopping cart for that matter. LOL

Some of those Wal-Marts look like H1N1 breeding centers.

I've done this myself a couple of times. When I drive my Vette, I always park OUT, away from other cars, and walk longer to the store.
IF I see a vette out there, I will park next to it, knowing that we will "respect" each other's car and eliminating possibility of someone parking next to us.

I will do the same too. Way out in the lot, I'll do it with the Vette.
Sometimes a few Vette owners will park anywhere. Could be their DD and it's a crowded lot. But I'll purposely park next to them when driving my Honda Civic. They won't know that I am trying to protect it for them, but I know they'll be safe with me there.

I did that one time and parked real far away. On my way out I see another car parked next to mine and I'm thinking who would park all the way out there right next to me!!! Once I got close I saw that it was a sick black Stingray Vette

I drive my Z06 to Walmart all the time, but I do park on the side of the building where I have learned the employees park.
No shopping cart activity there, and the cars normally do not move while I am in the store.

I worked for Wal-Mart for 13 years, and can tell you I've seen it all. Some real ignorant people come through those doors. I've seen just as ignorant people on here, too. And, I've been fortunate enough to know great people through Wal-Mart, and a great many here as well. The place is what you make of it.
