Got a little story to till you guys about what happened to me this 4th of July.

I took my wife's car to Home Depot yesterday to pick up a Epiphyllum (a type of plant). Parked in front of a good looking blue C6.  There was this little old lady walking in the direction of the Corvette and I watched with surprise as she opened the passenger side.  I'm thinking that it was nice for her son to take his mother to the store.  I got out an told her that was a good looking Blue Corvette and she thanked me, put some stuff in and then when back into the store. 

As I walked up to pay for my wife's plan she was in front of me with a charcoal barbeque pit in her cart.  Now I'm thinking her son is going to be a little less pleased.  I told her it would be interesting to see how she was going to get that barbeque into that Corvette.  The store clerk took the hint and called for a yard boy to help her.  I'm wondering where she is going to sit with that barbeque I figured I would put it in my car and take it home for her and her son if needed. 

I got out there and it was in the passenger seat and I realized this little old lady was going to get into the divers seat. 

I had to find out more so I asked her.  How did you come to own a Corvette.  She laughed a little when she was growing up she lived in Imperial Valley and her and her brothers build and raced cars.  She always loved fast cars.  But marriage raising a family and taking care of her husband until he passed had seen to it she never had one until her oldest son told her "Mom why don't you do something for yourself,  you always wanted a fast car. "  She chuckled a little and told me he said "You are old and will not live that much longer".  So she said she went out and purchased her a new corvette in 2006. She told me "I'm 80 years old and still haven't gotten any ticket but this car runs best over 80".   I mentioned that the cop that stops her is going to want to know who's car it is.  She giggled and said everyone asked that question or ask me how often my son lets me drive his car. 

Never to old to own a Corvette.  I'm thinking about the car sales man that went up to a little old Black lady looking over Corvettes in the sales yard.  What a tail he must have told about that sale. 

O yes she got the car onto the street waved and punched it, It is fast.
