Garage
An expert on Corvette's I am not, but the guy with the C6 has owned, if I recall correctly, something like 18 of them right from the 1954 model to this present one. I got to see all the models, photos, dealer stickers etc on the garage wall. He went through the history, telling me which ones he preferred and things like there was no 'Vette in 1983 and the '84 sucked, just like us Porsche guys can relate the the various incarnations of the 911 (except none of them sucked). He really knew his Corvettes it seemed. He's definitely does not fit the stereotypical owner that is portrayed above.

As the C4 would include '84 maybe the car cashflyer drove was one of those? I'm sure there are good and bad examples of everything. All I can tell you is that the C6 was an impressive machine.

Thanks for the complements on the car BTW - I am very proud of it.
To be honest I think a lot of credit needs to go to it's PO who took very good care of it. Maybe I'll tell the story about that soon...
