Seen a C-5 vert and a few seconds later a C-4 vert,corner of Bridgeport and Sweden,then as I left the job seen a C-6 vert at Bridgport and Almer.
Now the C-4 was Purple with white on the lower part of the car,it also had what looked like (I was behind it as it turned in front of me) a long decal with checker flags down the side,was this something special or someones own creation?

I don't get that law for the motorcyclists. The rider has to wear a helmet, but the passenger does not.

This sort of thread seems to me to make a lot more sense at a forum for cars that are slightly less common than Corvettes. (Like, for example, the Rennlist forum for Porsches from which this idea was plainly lifted.)
I mean, gimme a break, do any of us go a day without seeing at least half a dozen Corvettes?

On Sat. I spoted 3 vettes ( most in one day )
a yellow C5
a pale yellow C3 "75" vert
a red C1
The wave was given

You must be the only one who does -- unless you live in Munich.
Well, you see, this is a forum. That means sometimes there are happy thoughts, and sometimes there are negative thoughts. If all you want is back-slapping congrats every time you make another brilliant post, then ... don't read my posts.
You have the choice, amigo.
5. or maybe it was just a nice looking car and wanted to praise the owner.
Why the acrimony? (not picking a fight). I may have to travel to New Dehli where I understand there is the only Vette in India. Would love to see it and if I do, I'll be sure to post.
It is interesting to see Vettes around the world. And yes, perhaps Porsche's may be a bit more common.

Hey Pierre. I posted those conditions during the argument. I didn't have them there with the original post. My original intent was so that if people chose to, they could post a sighting. I had hoped posters would use there judgement for what they deemed was post worthy.

I think the C4 might have been the 1995 Indy Pace Car Edition. Sweet!

A few mornings recently I've seen a bright red 80-82 coming down Hurontario near the 407, and wondered if it was the same guy that I saw at one of our Sherway meets over the last few years? It's pretty rare to see that style of Corvette in bright red, so I figure there can't be too many of them out there. This one is in super mint condition too. I waved to him yesterday morning and he waved back.

di-di-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! (banjo from Deliverance)
I don't want to know who squeels like a pig. Ok?
saw a black C6 Z06 and a White C3 today. Waved to them but no wave back.
