Reminds me of myself about a year ago. I'm driving home in my Sierra pick up and pass a couple in a blue coupe with the top off. I put the window down and just admire the car. At a light I say "nice ride" in which they reply "thank you". I say "I would love one of those" and the driver says "Don't wait, just get one". Well that was a year ago but now I have my own 04! I agree, Don't wait..!!

Wife and I spent a long weekend at the beach and stayed at an Inn that was built around an open court where all the cars parked. The owner allowed me to park my '02 coupe right next to his office in his own driveway, the best spot on the lot...

When several of us were getting ready to leave yesterday, many of them had nice comments about the car..."So you're the owner of that super car"..."Where are you going with my car?"..."Beautiful car"...etc.etc.

Older men, younger guys, women, kids, doesn't matter .... almost everybody loves the Corvette.
