Default Corvette day at work

I am just going to post a link to the other thread since most of the cars are C5s and a lot of people here don't read that forum.

I too am the only one with a vette. So I don't drive it much, and when it rains it is real muddddddy. But when I do people just drul over it and say you got plenty of money don't you. I say nope I just want a part of the American sports car. Vet. 1970-1992 Army and provid of it.

For a while we had 6 C5's in our group of 45 engineers & designers. New we are down to 3. At the peak our parking lot had two Z06s, two '99 FRCs a convertible, and a coupe. We never did get a picture with all 6 at the same time, but here are 4 of us.
