I've driven 500+ miles around the Seattle/Redmond/Bellevue area this past week and have only seen one other Corvette. I've seen more GT-R and GT3's, even a Gallardo and a 458. I guess all of the Corvettes are still in storage.

I think your zip code is higher rent than my zip code!!! Though i guess there's a lot of younger people with lots of discretionary income working near where I live.
I drove Redmond to Seattle to the airport to Seattle today, and the only Corvette I saw was mines, in a reflection from a glass store front! I did see a glossy black Maybach, I think it was a 62 as it was a big one. Hustling along as well. Tinted heavily in back - I remember thinking it was probably Terrell Owens heading home after practice.
I will have to say that despite no provocation at all on my part, I've successfully ignored five or six challenges to street race, all from vehicles with larger tailpipes than me.

Mister... I've got one, but it has been in my driveway for a long time.
I just got around to doing my oil change last weekend (got some race ramps so I can DIY now), but I still need to find a dealership to look at my driver's side seat (sometimes sticks and doesn't move all hte wa to position and makes lots of noise) and passenger door (it really doesn't like to open from the outside handle).
I'm one of those guys who doesn't like things that are broken... The Vette is still in top of the line condition other than those 2 problems, but the driver's seat issue is annoying enough that it makes me not want to use it! I was sad when the Bothell dealership closed, I liked those guys.
Anyway, if I am driving around I'll be the black C6 with the 'C SICK' license plate
