Default "I had good doctors"

We took the C6 out for some exercise today in spite of the gloomy weather. We stopped at the Varsity for a chili dog. I was wearing the shirt I wore the day before, the shirt my wife got me that says "Back From The Dead" and has a 2009 Challenger picture on it.

This little old lady (about 85) was staring at me kept looking at me rather puzzled. Finally she got out of her chair and walked slowly over to me and ask if I really came back from the dead?

Nice story. Mine doesn't have the zombie overtones but...yesterday stopped at the tire store to fill the up the tires and a kid says "you know this is the first time that I've ever seen a CORVAIR out at this time of the year" "It's a CORVETTE, Timmy, not a Corvair".

She should have blasted you for wearing a MOPAR shirt while driving a vette... you should be ashamed.

Ouch! But, I'm surprised he even knew what a Corvair was, at his age.

Wow, you've got guts parking in the Varsity lot. Also, there's no telling what sort of folks you'll run into in the Varsity.

I could understand it if it was in Augusta, where the Medical College of Georgia is.
