In Pittsburgh This Weekend
so I am in Pittsburgh this weekend to see "The Game" of the week.
Go Steelers!!!
Anyway my wife and I visited our favorite diner for breakfast and happen to sit with another couple and their family. I started to talk to the guy and he stated that he worked for (or owned) a Ford Dealership in Pittsburgh before selling it and moving to Milwaukee where he started his own Ford Dealership. Eventually he moved back to Atlanta where he was going to retire, but instead opened a Chevy dealer so, of course, we got to talking about Corvettes.
Really the point is not that I meet this nice guy and his family, the point is that my wife asked
"How is it possible that you can work Corvettes into every conversation?"
am I alone or do Corvette owners have a way to find each other?
a week ago at a wedding a guy and I started talking and I found out that he owned a corvette and then we went outside to see the differences between the 2. Seems like I can always find a person in the crowd that has one...

I was there...that was definitely a sweet game. I think I saw you a couple times. I was 1 of the record holding 65000. You prolly saw me too.
Even if you dont find someone that has experience with one or owned one, you can always find somebody that wants to talk about yours.

I've noticed too that in many conversations the topic of Corvettes will come up. Sometimes it just takes a little creative guidance for it to happen.

, but as a Vette owner and a Steeler fan, you are obviously a very very smart person with a lot of class

That was the 2nd best "The Game" The first was on Saturday being in the BIG HOUSE and watching Michigan come from 17 pts down with 7 1/2 mins left to win in triple OT. That stadium was rocking! I do agree with the GO Steelers!!
My wife asks the same thing of me. I tell her that its easy to spot fellow "club" members
