Vettes are low!!!

Just found out how low these cars are. Went to the bank to deposit some rent checks. Pulled into the drive thru window. Waited, waited, waited. Finally pushed the call button. Lady said sorry, couldn't see you parked out there. Had to reach up to deposit the envelop in the tray.

I have the same problem at my bank. I made a little "flag" on a stick that I wave out the window to get their attention!

Here's a thought. I never use drive-up windows. I park and walk inside. Besides the exercise is good for me.

I was stopped next to a Fiat 500 once and I could not believe that I needed to look up to see the passenger. The Fiat is a tiny car and it still felt like I was next to a truck.

I love this car!!

I also found that the drive up ATM machine is too high. I can't reach high enough to use it.
