A member mentioned something about this being C5 related, and didn't see the first post showing the Rolex on my C5 shifter, nor appartently knowing the racing connection between Rolex and winning Corvette teams. then another comment was about pens...who knows where that came from, but here is a photo showing one(A Pen) made for me with the C5 logo in Cherry wood furniture.

This is the pen I used to sign the check when I bought my 2001 C5 vert. (I hope that helps the purists out there beefing about "how-is-this-Corvette-related"?)
Anyway, I recently had to send the pen back to the Janesville, WI facility for the shell to be repaired. They always do a nice job, but I really hate to be without my pen when I go driving my Corvette.

Any more good Corvette + [your "thing"] stories?

Btw - not sure where all the uptight-ness is coming from in this thread. Kind of a sad commentary.

Sam , as I have said on more than one occasion... Some of the people on this forum are so uptight, it would take a 1500 horse power tractor, to pull a needle out of their Butts

I don't think you are fully appreciating the amount of force it took to wedge that needle up there in the first place!
