You are right. I apologize for that remark.

So your sole intent here is to post negative comments until a mod shuts it down? Well ok then. This will be my last post.

I have probably driven 500kms in the couple of days and the only Vette I have seen, was a black C6 vert parked on the road a few houses down the street from me.

This brutal rainy summer has kept the Vette sightings at an all time low.

As Corrado said any Vette any Year or model is probably better looking than 96% of most cars on the road.

I don't mind this thread at all.

Mount Pleasant and Davisville area about 6 pm today I spotted a cream colored C3 I think an 80. No wave as I am still vetless in toronto until at the earliest tomorrow.

Spotted a very interesting C3 Tuesday night at the Wendy's gathering in Grimsby, looked like an 80-82 with the back 8-12" of a chrome bumper C3 grafted on. all done up with custom paint.
There was also a real nice silver 66 as well

I just got back from a short cruise near my house, and when I stopped at Sunoco to get gas, NOT2MELO was there putting gas in his beautiful Nassau Blue 99 as well! It was nice meeting you Greg!

Rick, we both got a lot carried away with our remarks. Me more than him I think. He called a truce. There's no sense in continuing to keep that argument alive.

Thanks.

You beat me to the post Pat thanks for the complement, your car is in great shape also

Yes NOT2MELO gets around in the Miss, Etobicoke and G-Town area alot.
Think we need some "Spotted" biz cards to put under the wipers of cars, would help to get a few more local members also?
