Default Corvette improves your memory!

Now that I've had my new vette for about 2 months I've noticed that it has helped to improve my memory! I can now remember things like:

Irrigation schedules along all the roads around my neighborhood
Which puddles drain last and where to detour around them
The entrances/driveways where I have to go on an angle/go slow not to scrape
Parking lots that have very narrow spaces

Has anyone else notices this strange but beneficial phenomena?

Those big stainless steel tanker trucks so you can see your ride gliding on by! Similar to windows above but this one you can take your time and speed up and slow down and the guy driving is probably on the CB saying I got another one looking at his self! LOL

I'm sure I've committed some things to memory since owning my Vette, but for some reason now I can't remember what they were.

I know just about 100 speed bump locations in Des Moines, Iowa! Some of the very worse are at the Best Buy on University!! I will not go anywhere near them as they would take out my oil pan!

This is so true. When going out for dinner I am more concerned about the parking and what parking lot is best than the food.

The food is still more important. You can always find a suitable parking place within four miles of the restaurant.

I believe the memory improvement come in part from the blood in your head getting pushed to the back upon acceleration, sloshed to the front upon braking, and spun side to side pulling "G's" on entrance ramps! It's like excersize for your noggin!
