I had a good friend that helped me do a LOT of work on my car; we swapped in the suspension, rear, and first motor and trans all in my driveway. He was a great guy to hang out with. Then he bought a new '02 Z06, joined the Corvette club, and I haven't really talked to him since then. Not sure what happened, but it seemed like he joined the Vette frat and didn't want to know anything about those "lesser vehicles."

On the other hand, my uncle has an '00 Vette 'vert with a whopping 8K miles on it, and he's in that other class of Vette owners. He was just a guy that grew up loving 'Vettes and regretted selling his '63 so many years ago so he could afford college. Hell, if I didn't want to haul my kids around to car shows, I'd find a way to have his Vette in my garage.
