LOL, nice. I have to laugh every time someone says the wife's Corvette. My neighbor introduced HIS new Corvette that way. Never see her near the car and he is polishing and driving it. Convinced she doesn't even know which end is the front. Great excuse to get a Corvette and tell the wife it is HER car. Oldest trick in the book. Good work.

And 4yr later I got her our current 03 which she still rows thru the manual gears on today. Black, manual C7 Vert in on the horizon for her!

We walked into a restaurant, a fellow walked up and noted we must be new in town, then introduced us to everyone in the place and they offered to help us adjust in any way they could. I was bowled over. And, we loved that state fair! Went through a few tornado alerts and it was like a big friendly gathering on the first floor of our building.
