By the way Paul, I see that it was Amber Payie that hosted the giveaway of your Corvette, I went to high school with her! (although we never had any classes together so she probably wouldn't remember me)

I think CHUM had that contest for 7 years but to date I've never heard from any of the other winners. Likely the rest were all sold.

If I were to win the C7 Corvette in the Coping Centre draw this year, I'd keep it for sure. I always wonder why people enter contests to win a car only to sell it when they win it? If they didn't want it, why enter? There are lots of other things to buy tickets for where the prize is cash if that's all they really wanted.

we haven't had this on the road for 8-9 years, has parts on it we bought from Rob Ng and his buddy "Iroc Mike" 20+ years ago... hope to get it back on the road someday soon though...
pic of my current C5 about 10 yrs ago when I bought it....
haven't ridden the bike in about 9 yrs.....
but it's all good - someday I'll ride it again and someday we'll get the Iroc running again too!

My Camaro when I started coming out to the west end night cruise back in '07. I miss doing those cruises.
Upgraded to my first C5 in the summer of 2007. Parked at The Docks for my first Yonge St cruise I organized.
I think everyone remembers my Durango.
And now I'm driving a C6.

Just spit out my coffee. Thanks Rick.
(some people remember the funniest stories!)
PS. Hope you're going to be around town the weekend after Labour Day. If so, put Sat Sept 12 on your calendar as I'm celebrating my big Five-Oh with a Hawaiian luau party here. Grass skirts, coconuts on the girls, loud hawaiian shirts on the dudes, torches, sand and fire pit. Gonna be a fun one!

I still remember that like it was yesterday Rick! You were looking at a C5 originally and I told you about the white C6 that was selling for just a couple of grand extra and the rest was history! Now I need to see if I can talk you into a C7!
