I don't get over to the C3 section much - but I thought I would share what I saw today.

I went over to Curry's in Ashburn to drop off my summer wheels to get new rubber on the BMW and my buddy took me into the shop to show me what they were working on:

On the lift with the rear suspension removed was a gorgeous Daytona Yellow 1970 L46 4S with 4:11. The dang car was identical in every visual respect to my first ever Corvette that I bought in 1974. Dang, I wish it were mine

(Yeah, I know: - but I forgot my cell phone and camera...)

You would have felt at least a little bit better if you were driving the C6, instead of your BMW.

Actually, I was driving the Jeep with the BMW summer wheels in the back.

I also ment this to be in the C3 section. My welcome says C3, the forum list says C3 but I am still in the C6 section, go figure.

I'll just have to post it again
