Default Sightings... C5, C6, C7

Maybe it is the NE area I travel in but I see far more C5's and C7's than I do C6's.
I can only guess at the reasons but I am guessing that may change as more of the Garaged C6's are traded in on C7's and bought as daily drivers. Those buying the 14's must be buying them as Daily Drivers... at least where I travel! How about your areas?

The economy in upstate NY has been in the tank for 20 years. A lot of people who live there are just now able to start affording C5s and C6s. Very few people could afford them when they were new.

I took a road trip to upstate NY a few weeks ago and in the span of about 5 hours I saw at least one example of every generation of Corvette! I bet not many can say that, unless they were at a car show or on a Corvette cruise (or any time they are anywhere near the Museum) I saw a lot of C6s and C7s on that trip actually but just one C5 (a rare Nassau Blue vert). But generally speaking, a lot of the cars and houses we saw on our road trip gave us the impression that times have been pretty tough around there for a long time. Pretty much all of the Corvettes we saw were on the interstates, not in the small towns/cities we drove through.
