Corvette nightmares..... literally
Do any of you guys every have nightmares involving your cars?
It seems that about every month or so I will have a nightmare about my car being a piece of $#!t. After I first purchased my car I was in Afghanistan and you think I would be more worried about getting the "Taliban marksmanship award" before worrying about the Corvette, but this is when the dreams started.
I would dream that I would come home to find my car in some jollopy form. Instead of the nice shiny paint job it was rattle canned and flaky. In stead of the spotless interior I would dream that it looked like a mid 80's camaro/firebird that has been sitting outside in the sun for the past 30 years. Once was a dream that I was towing the car and flipped the trailer trying to turn around at a gas station. And then the dream from last night was that my paint was falling off. Huge bubbles in the paint that would just scrape off with your hand. I can remember trying to stay positive and thinking in my dream "well now you can paint it any color you want" hahahaha
I must be crazy or have some deep issues with trying to keep my car clean haha. Just wondered if anyone else feels the same way.

Wait until your interior starts making noise. Then the nightmares become reality, as you try to figure out what is making noise and how to stop it.

My biggest nightmare has been in trying to find people I can trust to work on my car.

While I have never have experienced dreams with the corvette involved I have had plenty of dreams involving the Peterbilt.....nightmares more like it.
I think I would rather experience the Vette dreams!

That's nothin'...
I dreamed I went to the garage to take my 'vette for a cruise, and my 'vette was gone, and this was in it's place.
The Police wouldn't help, because the thieves left me another car, and that's all the law requires them to do.
How's that for a dream.

Looks like you fell asleep during some late night TV programming for the new vision of Amerika.

Either that, or the 2016 election scares me to death.

I was driving home from work today and a truck in front of me dropped a mud clot off his rear end. I had to get off the interstate and wash it off. LOL
