What's that?
I had to go to Staples for some office supplies this afternoon. While pulling up I saw a nice Velocity Yellow C6 vert parked in front. Though to my self, great place to park, will keep other cars away from me.
As I was walking in the C6 owner was coming out. He saw me get out the my car and said, " Nice looking car, what is it.?" I swear to God.
I told him that it was the new Corvette. Of course the conversation turned to , how much, you get it here...etc.
But... really, owns a Corvette and didn't know what the new looked like.
Nice guy, though.

Does the guy even know what he drives? Not an enthusiast obviously. One of those, just a car guys?

Just proof that most people don't know squat about cars.

No, he just had not see one up close. He knew what the Z51 package is, had it on his car. Proves that the car is much more exotic in person.

He was going with the cheaper by the dozen, but GM ruined his plans with the C7.
