Default Nice surprise after work

After a long hard day at work, I was pleasantly surprised to see that someone with a black C7 parked next to me. I actually stood there and admired them both for a minute before going home.

Imagine if you met the guy who owned the other C7 you would probably be there longer than a minute.

I went to walmart last weekend and I had 2 C6's by me. I parked next to the first one and then I came back out to the car and another was there. Kinda cool. I talked to one of the owners when he came out.

I do the same thing when I am out in the GS. If I see another Corvette in the parking lot, and there is space, I park next to it. My wife just rolls her eyes when she is with me... I tell her it’s a Corvette thing.. glad to see I’m not the only one!

Walked out of the gym a few months back and saw this... nice C5Z parked next to my C7GS.

Below is my example of my previous '14 and a '67 Stingray parked next to each other. Close together, but five generations apart.

Not side by side, but still cool. Of course being at the museum it's not that unexpected.
