Thunderbird? Really???
So I go to Mizner Park in Boca Raton last night for a few drinks. I got lucky to be able to park in front in the street rather than the parking garage. At the end of the night, I find this warning on my Vette.
Can anyone tell me how my car looks like a T-Bird?????

FYI- it was a warning from the security of the complex and not a ticket. I just find it hard to believe that anyone (including Hernandez) can mistake the car for a Thunderbird!!!!!!

It looks cool with the official seal and all but just be happy it wasn't a real parking ticket with a real $ fine. Mr. Hernandez isn't car very savvy but I doubt that's a job requirement for his position.

Let's be fair to Mr. (or Ms.) Hernandez. There's only one place on the exterior where it reads "Corvette", and it's hard to find unless you know where it is. The only other exterior emblems are the crossed-flag logos. If you're not a car guy, you might be left to guess the make & model.
That being said, there's no excuse for not knowing how awesome 'Vettes are and what they look like.
P.S. There's a number at the bottom of the "notice" that you can call with any questions. You could call and ask how anyone could mistake a 'Vette for a T-Bird.

If one uses one's imagination one could possibly see where an old timer like Hernandez may mistake the C6 flags for the old school TBird logo. It's a reach, yes, but more plausible than 'he was messing with you'. After all, if he'd really wanted to mess with you he'd have written you a ticket instead of a warning.

For me its very hard to understand how someone wouldn't be able to recognize a Corvette but there are people who really don't care about cars and thus can't identify them.
