There is a Costco gas station near my house and a McDonalds across the parking lot.
A much younger guy with I assume his son (3 or 4 years old) walked up to me and started talking to me about my car.
He then asked if I would mind letting him and his son just drive it around the parking lot because it would be years before he could afford a corvette.
I actually thought about it.
Those thoughts ended when I took a second look at the son that had just finished an ice cream cone.
The evidence was on his shirt and his face.
I declined the request.

I get..."Is that the new Corvette/Stingray?
"Yes it is!"
"What year is it?"
More often than a little bit...

9 out of 10 times I get "is that the new Corvette? How do you like it??". I started with replying "i love it". But now I just say i hate it and spent 65000 dollars on it so people would ask me if I liked it.. Lol

"What color is it?"
That's the most common question I get (mostly from ppl who haven't seen it, of course).
NRB, by the way. I usually just say dark blue, or metallic blue. Sometimes, "same color as my Camaro," for ppl who have seen that.

I stopped into a McDonalds the offer day and was quietly eating my oh so tasty treat... The guys that worked there said "Hey! Is that your car"? I answered coyly, which one? He says the Blue one, That new Stingray! I said yeah, and kept on eating. A few minutes later a guy walks in who knew the workers there and said to his friends, heeeey, check out my new ride as he pointed to my car... Then he turns to me and says, is that your car out there? I said, again, which one? He says the Blue one, that Vette! I said yes, and continued to eat. He says MAN! That's bad ***, how much does that run you? I said a lot! He wouldn't leave me alone about the price so finally he annoyed me enough I responded... Prolly more than your house but who really cares? I don't like being rude to people but Damn, don't ask me how much I paid for something when you don't even know me!
