Entry and Exit

After nearly 50 years of driving Corvettes I've been thinking about getting an automatic again because of bad knees but I don't understand your/their thinking. I could give a rats ass what other people think about what I look like getting in and out of a car, let alone a Corvette. Are we such vain people to be intimidated by what strangers think? One club member tows a trailer to carry his motorized scooter to get around on club tours. An old friend of mine has had polio since the 50s and he can get in and out and walks with two canes. It's worth it to wait for him to get in but don't try to help him or you'll get a cane up side the head. He has pride, those you are talking about have vanity. I don't see it as a problem GM needs to address, get it and drive it.

I guess as you get older you get used to that kinda thing... ;)

-- lab~rat >:-) Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Besides which, one doesn't enter and exit a Corvette. One wears it - with pride

He'll get over it if he has any balls at all.

If you think a Vette can be challenging? I was at a car show a few months back and I crawled into a Mitsibishi Spyder. My wife was laughing at me because I literally came out of the car on my knees! I'll keep my '77 Vette thank you very much!...Jimi

LOLOL!
