Better than the Wave???
It's a beautiful sunny day, got the top down, just leaving Centennial Beach. My partner can't find her sun glasses. I pull over to the side of the road, pop the trunk., hear someone pull in behind me. He's driving a Vette, asks if I'm ok, do you need any help. I tell him no thanks, but thanks for pulling over and asking, explain that I'm looking for my partners sun glasses. There certainly are some great people in the Corvette community.

That what it's all about. A few years ago I saw a guys stuck by the side of the road on the shoulder of an interstate close to home, he has a C3 and the radiator was leaking, so I went to the next exit and knew of an auto parts store there, got him some anti-freeze, a lower hose and some hose clamps, went back to the side of the road where he was and got him up and running and he paid me what I had spent off he goes. I felt like I had passed on the thing we all feel as Corvette owners feel. but the sense I had done something good lasted a long time !
