The guy can obviously afford to buy and drive any car he wants and probably has a bunch spread over the face of the planet. The fact that even one of those cars is a C5 Corvette and that he actually drives it is awesome. Even if it's his "airport run beater".

I think it's great that a guy that could afford any car he wanted drives a C5.

Hey guys careful what you say about Sir Paul...he maybe a member of this forum! lol Paul is one outstanding talented and classy chap that has terrific taste in cars. Maybe we can prompt him to write a tune about the C5!? Greetings, Rob

I saw him in concert a few months back. Just awesome! Really rocks for an older guy. Love that he's got an 04 CE too.

Good for you Sir Paul, I had just turned 16 when the Beatles broke up but their music still lives with me to this day. When a Beatles album was due to be released it brought out the same reaction as today's iphone release. With songs like "baby you can drive my car" and "why don't we do it in the road " how can he not be a babe hound and car guy.
