sort of...

Iceman the average Corvette owner is not what you think. Just goes to show your intelligence.

I have three friends who own Vettes

Pilot who flys a jet for Warren Buffet
MIT grad who works for Bell labs
MD with two board certifications

I hope you never go to a Corvette meet you may get your a$$ kicked

When I think of Corvette, I think of "clueless blue/grey-collar middle-aged cheesey white guy with a little money trying to be cool and young-again playing old bad rock & roll music dream car."

Some great pics:

I think this one is my favorite:

As a kid, I got 4 tickets for driving 100+. I'm glad it happened before the laws got tougher. Fortunately, in those days you could pay theticket right there on the spot and I was fortunate to have parents who kept money in my pocket. These tickets cost over $100. One was almost $200...I was going about 115 mph on that one. In case you're wondering when I was a kid, I'm talking college in the late 70's early 80's. I still drive fast on the highway but not for extended periods. I'll hit 100 then back off. If I had a vette or engine mods, I'd be in jail. This is the main reason why I'm happy with stock motor, I don't trust myself.

nop, cops sometimes can stop all of you. i have seen cop going all the way left and right on the freeway stopping all traffic and pulled over 3 cars at the same time (opened his window and indicated the cars to pull over)

What's with this state?

HP's who can pull over 8 vettes in a single bound, mice who like to live in Lexus luxury, and governors who wrestle and rip the politcal system. This state sounds fun!
