So unlike a lot of people, I wasn’t actually raised in the automotive world. Parents never really had any cool cars growing up, but I did go with them when I was about eight years old to trade in their 1988 V6 Camaro that smoked like crazy on a new Chevy trailblazer in like 1999.
I was wandering around the showroom while my parents signed paperwork and there was a brand new Corvette sitting in the showroom. One of the salesman saw me looking at it and came over to me and asked me if I wanted to sit in it to which obviously I replied can I really?
First time I’ve ever sat in a bucket seat in that fighter pilot style cockpit of a two seater. To top it all off the guy asked me if I wanted to hear it.
This guy got in the car in my place started up, revved it a few times even let me sit in it and push the gas pedal myself. Feeling that 5.7 rumble under my eight year-old foot. It’s probably the sole reason we are all here together on this app.

Got a pretty cool story for this one.
