I owe RARE a public apology!!
Today I went down to DMV to renew the plates on RARE. In the course of renewing her plates for another year, Texas requires an annual "Safety Inspection" no problem
The kid brings me he keys after the inspection and said to me Sir are you aware that you only drove this gorgeous car 49.6 miles since last years inspection :ugh
I stammer around ah... ah.. oh... hmmm Yea that sounds about right :ugh
Have you ever been lectured to by a young man... I guess him to be 19 maybe 20... he then asked my how long I have owned RARE... stumbling around I said sheepishly I've had her since July of 1998
Next question from him was .. 73,161 miles I bet those are original huh?? Quick to respond here ... I told him it had 58,600 on it when I picked her up in Detroit and that it's just been the last 3 years or so that she has sat around so much 
His parting words... it's such a shame to see such a beautiful Corvette sit around and not get driven..
He said if he had the money he would take it off my hands for me...
So RARE here is my PUBLIC apology for neglecting you for the last 3 years. You truly deserve better :dance
ashamed in Amarillo
