Alittle background...

I'm a mild mannered auto tech by day and review site owner by night. Working on vehicles for a living managed to diminish my appreciation of cars. Now if you throw a hot redhead next one, my attention will intensify.
I was privileged enough to attend this event because my wife is a “higher up” in the automotive industry. This photo was taken courtesy of GM during the black tie charity preview of the North American International Auto Show. My wife is responsible for a large amount of the electrical components on the Corvette, along with a handful of other GM models. Believe it or not, that’s my wife standing next to the Chevy Corvette. Yes…I’m one lucky bastard!!!

If you were to ask my wife if she was into cars she would laugh at ya. To her it's nothing but thing. LOL Kinda sounds like my warped opinion! You can only bust your knuckles on these beasts so many times before you build up a resentment.

Starbuck3733T, I was actually downtown this past weekend blowing off some steam at one of the many watering holes. So close!!! Next time your in town, you should look me up.

Better yet...you can have my ticket.:unsure:

I think the cost of having my wife on your arm might be a bit much though.:rant:
