<VV> Corvette "drivers"

[kenpepke at juno.com]

Many of us look at persons like your "friend" with disdain ... This is definitely the other side of the coin.  It is a great thing that he has done a top quality restoration and is so dedicated to the preservation of this vehicle.  It is most likely this particular model will live on for many future generations.  Have we not, every one of us, visited museums; enjoyed items preserved for posterity?   Fortunately there are those in every field that think to, and are able to save pristine examples of their interests.  Most of us, me included, use up, or at least wear down, everything so without persons like this there would be no 'trailer queen' examples for future generations.  Be it a Corvette, a Corvair, or anything else, while it may not be 'my way' it is a good thing.

I have a "friend" from work who restored a 67 Vette.  His goal was to make 
Bloomington  which he did.  The car lives in a garage under a tarp.  Last easter sunday, 
I saw him at a yearly Easter sunday car show held here in st. Louis.  I asked about his 
car and he told me  that " my car does not come out unless I stand to win something 
that will enhance it's value.  I told him if you can't drive it you might as well do  
stamp collecting.  He told me that he restored that car 15 years ago and that the 
odometer was turned back at that time and the car shows 5  miles........going on and off 
the trailer.  He admitted that he has never driven the car.
