Funny... I've notice that people react to the Corvette in different ways. One of the most aggressive reactions is from guys in pickups! They want to race me for some reason. Crazy. Young guys in Mustangs tend to leave me alone :-)

(I like Mustangs, BTW)

We have a new friend whos dad is a collector of muscle cars... Loves
Fords, but has a Vette, a Chevelle (pretty much a driver, all
origional), and a few others to go along with his pack of Ponys...

That's cool. I'm a Ford guy myself, but I appreciate all cars. Owned a little bit of everything, and they all have their good and bad sides. But I have to admit, I do hate an early 70's fat fendered Chevelle. The one the bow-tie boys drool over. Give me a '68 396 SS Chevelle any day!

Funny, I've always been a Ford guy, because my father was! In the little
town I grew up in, there was a guy who after graduating high school,
went to work for the state road department (his father worked there as
well), still lived at home. He had a pickup truck, but bought a brand
new 1969 SS 396 Chevelle, last year of the shaker hood. He put it in the
garage, covered up, every couple of weeks, take it out, run it maybe 15
miles, bring her back, wash it, wax it put it back. Last I knew, he
still had it, about 8 years ago, with 15k on the odometer.
