Geez Murray, why didn't you share this great tip on dealing with lunch bandits while I was still working?

Only ever packed a lunch going to school. I was the kid that had to take lobster sandwiches to school and nobody would steal those....lol... That's back when lobster was the poor people's food.....

The above meme is even more apt for Canadians, with our unique "made for Canada" 2024 Corvette C8 price increases. For those of us on a list waiting for a new C8 (for me: 3 years for the Z06), expecting and (financially) planning for the usual "modest price increase", it's unfortunately not funny.

Somewhat related to the above meme: I often get compliments, get asked what year it is, or see people checking out or taking cell phone photos of my C8...but about 2 weeks ago on a beautiful summer day, I was parked at a set of lights downtown with my top down, when I heard the following yelled out from the sidewalk area:
"I like your car....................old man!" (sigh)
I pretended not to hear (after all: I'm OLD and can't hear properly; right?). I was the only vehicle in the intersection (I checked and checked again: nope; only me), so can't pawn it off as a reference to someone else.
I'm not quite 65 but I'm still coming to terms with being an "old man". My counselling sessions just doubled in their frequency (lol).
Any young person out there who wants to buy a 2023 C8 convertible? It's never exceeded "old man speeds" and "old man RPM's".

At 64 I bought my 1st Corvette.Somewhat related to the above meme: I often get compliments, get asked what year it is, or see people checking out or taking cell phone photos of my C8...but about 2 weeks ago on a beautiful summer day, I was parked at a set of lights downtown with my top down, when I heard the following yelled out from the sidewalk area:

Now, at 65, I am waiting on my Stingray 'build', to be followed by an E-Ray, a Z06, a ZR1, a C9, and whatever else lies upwards on the food-chain.
'Old' is but a state of mind.
The next time you are yelled at from the sidewalk, holler back, "You should worry more about the bus schedule than what I'm driving."
THIS is why Chevrolet stopped using round lights.
