<VV> Re: Corvette drivers --- No Corvair--well, a little Mosport NECC

I've had 2 Corvettes in the past 10 years and enjoyed driving them very much, however I once said that if I had to get rid of the Corvette or the Corvairs.  I know which it would be.  I still have my Corvairs, but no Corvette.  Ken Clark

I live in a big retirement village town north of Orlando where everyone is  
silver haired and most drive Buicks, Grand Marquee's or Escalades and there  
are plenty of Vette's around here of all vintages.  95% of the time, they  are 
in the way on roads.  Actually, you can say the same thing for out on  I-75 or 
the Florida Turnpike where everyone else is going 85.  Why do they  buy these 
things?  Certainly not to enjoy their "sports car"  attributes.
 
Mosport NECC video:  I just finally played the jerky video my wife  attempted 
at Mosport today.  I had no idea how loud my car is at high  revs.  Sounds 
like an un-muffled Lycoming airboat wailing through the  Everglades.  Not as 
loud as Bruce Carlton's though.
