Default How many of you

have a picture of your vette in your office? I do and the reactions of co-workers are either 'Why do you have a picture of a car in your office?' or, more commonly, 'Wow..it that a corvette?'

I've got that covered! I also keep a picture of my wife in my office and, to ensure no negative comments from females, I keep the picture of my wife closer to me than the vette picture!

I have a pic of my baby as my computer background. Every day, I also take some time to go through my hundreds of pics I've taken of her at shows, events, etc., so by the end of the day, I'm itching to take her out for a spin. If this isn't an addiction, I don't know what is!

I have an 8x10 of my sig pic in my office. No "Wow" factor for me. They all saw the car before the picture.

No picture of my Z...instead I have a 1/24th scale diecast of my car (2001 Quicksilver Z) sitting in the corner of my desk. I do have a nice big picture (24x36) of the NASCAR I drove at the Richard Petty Driving Experience.

I have a 21" monitor, and my car is pictured on the wallpaper. Not to mention access to the photos on the forum and in the web hosting service!

The car may not be in sight - by never very far out of mind!

My boss saw mine and said 'apparently there needs to be a salary adjustment, because you're making too much money.'

I said 'yeah, bump it up because I now have a Vette payment!'
