For a few days at work now we have been parking next to each other... probably a shot in the dark but let me know if this is you.




Don't have any Corvette guys to hang out with yet - I am still a new vette owner.

You married? I read a story a few years back on here about a guy looking at a corvette after getting out of his own corvette. The female owner walked up and said its not for sale, they struck up a conversation and bam, married.

I was so impressed with the power of the vette. I kept a picture of the cars parked next two each other. This could be the beginning of the rest of your life.

Where was that picture taken? Reminds me of the rooftop parking in Oshkosh for Miles Kimball when I worked there.

Looks like you two are probably working close to (if not) the same schedule. I'm sure you'll eventually meet the other owner one morning/afternoon when you walking in/out of work...same thing happened to me at work with a fellow Vette owner. We now share occasional stories and waves/acknowledgements (even when were not on our Vettes).

Leave a NOTE ON THE WINDOW, ASK HER IF SHE WANTS TO SHARE a cup of oil ( coffee ).
Either she will blow you off, or it could be the start of something great.


Being very metaphorical here....referring to the car as a she, and not necessarily the owner....
The ***** in your court.
