Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

Philip Aleo, 56, crashed his friend's C3 �Vette into a marsh on Sunday morning. When police arrived, he was standing on top of the trunk to avoid getting soaked by the mucky marsh water. A firetruck rescued Eleo from the top of the car and a tow truck was used to pull the poor C3 out of the water.

Nobody drives my Vette but me and occasionally my wife! When my kids drive it it's only with ME in the other seat!

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.

I don't let anybody drive my vette......... then again my vette is not drivable yet. So there.

Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Expect her to pay for it. What the insurance doesn't cover, she will. If not, sue.

Well if I was still in my 20's and 30's I'd probably beat the living buh jeezus out of him.

If I was still in my early to mid 40's I'd probably give him a good ear lashing until I lost my voice.

Now I'm heading to the 50 mark I would say nice going jacka$$, I guess I'll let the insurance hand it. Then go out and buy myself a C7. Big smile

Vette(s): 1974 L-48 Auto. Just your basic Vette. GM crate motor w/vortec heads and intake. Crane cam. Scorpion rockers, Edelbrock carb. Lots of parts still in boxes... :(

I had Dad's '69 427 roadster today. Brought it home last night, and drove it to work today. It's almost too much stress to enjoy it. I think if I crashed it, I'd just leave the country out of shame!

Here it is at work this morning, along with my co-worker's 60th anniv. Grand Sport.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.

That happen down in Wells, Maine where my daughter lives. Her husband called me to tell me about it and I though he was giving me a line of crap. The owner of the car probably thought the same thing when he got the call. Now that guy's definitely a real Masshole.
