Corvette Yahtzee
So, when I'm cruising I've "made up" the following game. I'm sure someone else already does something like this.
I try to complete a "hand" of poker (Yahtzee is the same thing basically).. now it doesn't translate perfectly but here's what I got so far.
I go by generation and look for pairs, three of a kind, flushes and straights.
My best one day was a C4, C5, C6, C7 for a short straight.
The colors were black, black, red, grey. So the black would work like a pair.
Yesterday I extended my trip because I had C5, C7 and C8. Never could pick off the needed C6!
I thought it may be fun to have this thread we can come post to when someone has a great hand or a "near miss" searching for a generation.
I'm open to fixing the rules up. Such as "no corvette shows". Also, if we're driving OUR car can we use it as a wild card? Or does that just make it too easy?
Or, this all seems really stupid and I'm sorry for wasting your time!

If it works for you that's all that counts but I never heard of anything like that. Wow enjoy what makes you happy!
I hope you are on the way to a casino while you are playing this game to win some cash!

It’s a good day when I see other Corvettes out and about, but in this small town that doesn’t happen too often. If you get enjoyment trying to come up with a Yahtzee hand while out driving, great and hope you see plenty of Vettes.

I didn't mean to get in anyone's head. I just a day a few weeks back where I hit C4-C7 (minus my own C5 even!) and I find at the end of the day I can remember the colors and era. The day I knew I screwed myself into this game was the day I drove any extra 45 minutes to try to get the C8 or C3!

I was cruising Alki yesterday and stopped for a brew and saw four Corvettes cruise by - I think it was a pair of C6s and pair of C7s.
My car was parked half a mile down the road and I wanted to jump up and join the flight!
