I was down in Orlando last week and went to the NASA launch sites. What a great place to visit (even got to see a DSO C6 :cool run on the base) and lots of great information. So what is this doing on the CAC you're asking? At one of the tourist spots they have a sign showing the ratio of fuel a Rocket carries and the percentage of fuel a Corvette carries. Take a look.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I did.
For those who cannot read the fine print:
"The propellants in the Apollo/Saturn V vehicle weighed 5,625,000 pounds and accounted for roughly 91% of its total weight. In contrast, a 1969 Corvette, the preferred automobile of the Apollo astronauts, was 96% body mass and 4% fuel."
