NEWINGTON, NEW HAMSHIRE — Seacoast Corvette enthusiasts are on a drive to make a difference for organizations in need.
Newington resident Steve Prefontaine is the founder of the Great Bay Corvette Club, a new nonprofit organization for fans of the American-made sports car who are interested in community service. Prefontaine said there are more than 600 such clubs across the United States.
The past couple of months have been busy, with time spent establishing the group's bylaws and articles of organization, and developing a Web site that is now live at Great Bay Corvette Club - Seacoast of N.H., Maine, Massachusetts.
“It's been a good two months of work, but it's been fun, too,” Prefontaine said.
Prefontaine is the proud owner of a brand-new 2014 white Stingray, which he described as “one mean son of a gun.” The fully loaded machine features 460 horsepower and 465 pounds of torque.
But what does it feel like to be behind the wheel?
“Heaven. Complete heaven,” Prefontaine said. “The power that's under your foot is phenomenal.”
The Stingray joins Prefontaine's 2012 Grand Sport convertible, painted in a one-year only “Carlisle blue” hue with a navy blue top. Both are currently hibernating in a detached two-car garage at his home.
