12 years ago today, I was probably drinking. I was probably celebrating your purchase and didn't even know it. I was celebrating something.

private sale. The guy is named Joe and is a lurking member of the Guru.

A very nice fellow who sold me a very honest car. No regrets, nothing. I truly consider Joe a friend after all these years.

Sadly, he was wracked up in a nasty accident on the PA turnpike about 7 years ago. He is still recovering. Lotsa broken bits... tragic.

I will never forget following you home that night. After driving the 'lude for so long, you had no idea of the vette's dimensions. It was an interesting study.

No kidding. The 'Lude was like 3/4 scale to the Vette.

And the Vette was a good 3" lower than the 'Lude and 8" wider! I was having issue finding lane center, to be honest.

I think, tho, by the time you pointed that out, and I got home, that problem was resolved.

I still don't know exactly where the front corners of the car are!!!

LOL. I'm usually too close or too far from the parking spot stops. You always know when you get too close. Corvette turning is a little different than anything I drive and I drive a few different vehicles. I tend to leave a little extra room in the Vette.

Now that is the way to justify heavy drinking!
