Yaris versus Corvette

They're renting 2008s? That's weird.

My dad's got an '06. Great car.

No......I mean specifically renting a 1963 Sebring Silver Corvette Stingray Coupe with a Black interior. If I ever came across one where the guy was willing to rent it to me I'd pay more than $350.00 for the day, if thats what it took. I think this is likely a pipe dream as only 10,594 of them were ever made in all colors and I don't know how many of those were Sebring Silver.


1963 was the only year for the split rear window in the coupe. No wonder he loved that car so much. He was such an incredibly nice person. He was a Pharmacist and his wife is an RN. One day, before his girls were even in Kindergarten, he happened to be washing the car by himself and came back in the house and told his wife he wasn't feeling well -- he was tired and losing his balance. He was not to the point of being obese, but he was overweight. She drove him to the hospital. It was an Aneurysm. It ruptured in the emergency room and he died in the emergency room. His wife sold the car, but stayed in the house. She was set financially and wanted to maintain as much continuity as possible for the girls. It was one of those things that reminds you how fleeting life can be and how essential it is to make sure to savour your experiences.
