V.I.S.I.T.: 1953 C5 Corvette Commorative Edition

So today, this olelongrooffan was chatting it up with thebossman and spotted something I just knew was Hooniworthy pass around the round about out in front of one of the subdivisions we are building. It was a 2003 Commemorative Edition Corvette and I told Charles what it was and that I would be right back, see ya. So I jumped in my longerroof and got out on the golf course lined perimeter road and followed that C5 up to the tennis club next to the clubhouse of the toney community in which I work.

Once again this olelongrooffan can hear my fellow Hoons screaming, “A C5 Corvette? WTF ORLF?” A jump might answer that question.

I’m pretty confident that question is now answered. Yes my fellow Hoons, the driver of this ride took a perfectly good, limited series Commemorative Edition Corvette and morphed it into this 1953 replicar. As this olelongrooffan was gathering up these images to share with all ya’all, the owner came out carrying a couple of, what I will presume would be, high end tennis rackets. And my fellow Hoons probably know this olelongrooffan well enough by now to that

this olelongrooffan started chatting it up with him. When asked how long he has owned it, his answer was, “Since it was new. I bought a basic C5 and had it shipped to Detroit where there is a firm that builds these.” I mentioned to him that I was a car guy and although I had seen these on the net, this was the first one I had seen in the flesh. He mentioned that his other car is a fairly expensive one  but it doesn’t generate the amount of comments he gets when he drives this.

What’s your other car? “Aston Martin,” was his reply. I chuckled and commented, “Yeah those things are a dime a dozen round here.” He emitted a deep belly laugh, shaking his head up and down as he depressed the clutch and put this sucker in reverse to GTF out of Dodge.

Yeah Hoons, be what it may, in this Commemorative Edition Corvette, you gotta row your own. FTW.
