Default Mikes and Corvettes

Why does it seem like every Corvette dealers name is Mike?

Corvette Mike, Mike Furman, Mike Davenport, etc

It's a conspiracy.
Maybe Bill O'Reilly will write a book about it.

How about Mike Yeager from Mid-America? That's another one...not a dealer but certainly part of the Corvette culture mix.

You'll need to step up to the Mike, then.

Maybe, because Mike is the number one name, for anyone over the age of say, 30?

Mr.owc6 is named Mike.

All you have to do is call out "Mike" in a crowded room, and half the men will answer.

Almost the same issue with lisa.

I'm not a Mike. I've spoken to a Mike, spoken through a mike but never bought a Corvette from a Mike.
Guess I live in the wrong part of the world.
