Our club made the trip to Maggie Valley for "Vettes in the Valley" show this past weekend. On one of our many P breaks at a McDonalds all 11 vettes rolled in and parked. As we came in I overheard a conversation that went like this. Kid: I like all of them. Grownup: I wouldn't trade my Camry for any of em. Ain't nothin' but gas hogs anyway.
We all laughed to ourselves when we pulled back out and proceeded to lay down some MPGs of roughly 31. I'm betting thats real close to his gas hog Camry.

Kid: Dad, your a putz. Corvettes get great gas mileage and your Camry is a lame death machine. I'm sure you never dreamed of owning a Camry when you were a kid.

Kid: Daddy, why can't we get a vette like that?, Dad: because your mother has my ***** in her glove box of the Camry....
By the way, great trip, my club was there as well, 11 or 12 cars I think! Myrtle Beach Corvette club.

Reminds me of the T shirt with the rear shot of a mid year coupe and the caption " They don't write songs about Volvos(Camrys in this case.)"
