<VV> Corvette "drivers"

[Dave Thompson]

My next door neighbor has three Corvettes. An early 60's fastback. Mid 80's
and a 2009. I only see them out from under the covers every other month or
so.

When I had mine a few years ago my Corvette was my daily driver and my
Corvair was the one that got the special place in the garage and was not
driven in any kind of bad weather unless on the way to or from a show.  Ken
