No Corvettes
Just got back from Alaska, and visited Juneau, Skagway and Victoria, B.C. I kept an eye out for a corvette, but didn't see a single one. I did see a Lamborgini (sp?) in Victoria.

I can assure you there was one on the streets of Skagway because I drove up there two weeks ago. I encountered one in Prince George BC on the way back and that was it for 3600 miles of Alcan highway. I did run into a rather large herd of Bison in the Yukon but lucky for me a large truck gave me warning.

Nothing to it. Always some road construction but its a paved road to Skagway anyway. Some huge potholes here and there and you have normally warning on uneven road surfaces. Fuel is not give a way prices. I came back on the Cassiar highway in western BC and its 99 percent paved with some road construction. I did the trip in a 13 base convertible and other than some tar spots on the back I can say the bugs all came off. It looked like the front had a two day old beard with dead bugs. If you dont take your car out when its raining you should not go. If your afraid to get it dirty you should also not go, otherwise go for it.

The OP would have had better luck seeing Vettes in Anchorage or Fairbanks.

I know they're up there somewhere because I was in Alaska a few weeks ago on an inland tour from Seward to Fairbanks and during one leg of the trip our bus passed a caravan of about a dozen corvettes traveling in the opposite direction.
