I had to share this story -
So right now, I'm sitting in a Marriot Courtyard in Bowling Green, KY. My dad and I made the drive down from Cincy Ohio to visit the museum and factory, about a 3 hour drive, peace of cake!
Well, we finally show up to the factory, take the obligatory phots (which will be posted soon), and then I park my new C6 in the special 'Corvette Only' parking spaces. At first, it was myself and an Orange 2007 Z06 occupying those spaces. Well, after a few minutes, a convoy of Corvettes from Pennsylvania show up (about 12 total) and then proceed to fill in the remaining spaces. A Yellow C5 with a Black Bra with smiley faces embroidered on it parks next to me, backing in. I exchange some pleasantries with the fellow Vetters, and then go in to tour the museum.
When my Dad and I come out of the museum to go get some dinner, we walk up to our Corvette, and to our dismay, we see a bright yellow gouge in the passenger door. All the Corvettes from the Pennsylvania Corvette Club are gone, but its obvious that the yellow C5 that backed into the spot next to me swung his door open way too far and gouged the **** out of my driver door. I WAS SOOOOO MAD!!!! YELLOW DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON LEMANS BLUE!!!!
I know it was the same car that was next to me because there was only about 30 minutes that I was inside, and the museum was about to close, so no other yellow Corvette would have parked next to me in that brief period of time....
Seriously, if by some chance the person who did this (Yellow C5 Coupe with Black Bra with yellow smiley faces embroidered on the bra) is reading this...please PM me so we can discuss what happened and take care of business.
Nevertheless, I'm having fun in Bowling Green and will be going on a factory tour tomorrow at 9am, can't wait to see the '08s rolling off the line.
Take care,
Mike:thumbsup:
