I TOOK MY VETTE UP FOR A REFUEL AND OF COURSE IT WAS BEING EYED BY PEOPLE, HAD A YOUNG COUPLE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WAHT WAS THE BEST YEARS, i DIDN'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE CONTROVERSY LIKE SOMEPEOPLE DID ON THE CACC THREAD SO I ANSWERED ITS PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND THEN WAS ASKED WHAT MINE WAS SO.... I ANSWERED IT WAS 1974-1982 YEARS AND GAVE THESE YOUNG FOLKS SOME EDUCATION ON VETTES, I TOLD THEM OF THE TRADITION OF THE "WAVE" AND TOLD THEM WHAT YEAR VETTE YOUWANT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT... OLDER VETTES FOR LOOKS AND SPEED WHERE NEWER VETTES FOR SPEED , COMFORT AND LOOKS, WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE. I WAS THEN THANKED AND WENT ON MY WAY. I THEN STOPPED BY THE STORE TO GET SOMETHING AND A YOUNG KID ABOUT 18 OR 19 WANTED TO KNOW WHAT A VETTE LIKE MY WAS WORTH AND I TOLD HIM THE VALUE AND HE REPLIED"REALLY" AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO SELL AND I SAID SURE , HIS EYES BULGED AND I SAID THAT'S THE CASH PRICE TODAY... SO I WENT INTO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT HE ASKED FOR MY PHONE # AND I LEFT...NOW THIS KID COULDN'T AFFORD EVEN THE INSURANCE... HE WAS DRIVING A OLD 80 SOMETHING TOYOTA THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH HELD TOGETHER BY RUST... IT IS A GREAT FEELING OF JUST DREAMING OF OWNING A CAR LIKE THAT I THINK.
