Goofy C5 Owner. So I run down to Autozone to get Oil for the Station Wagon, er um Equinox and I see a C5 Corvette siting in the left lane not moving when I go outside.
I ask the guy if he wants to push it to the side.
"Oh no those cars have no bumper"
"Really?" I say "I meant I push it with my hands"
"Oh" "Isn't it too heavy?"
Me "No"
He gets in and says ready. I push no movenment. Car is still in park.
I explain how to get it into neutral without starting it.
So we get it to the side.
I say go into autozone get a belt and we can borrow the toosl to swap out the belt.
"How would you know how to do it, this is Corvette"
I said "I have a Trans Am with a Similar Drivetrain"
"Oh they can't be similar"
Me "just go get the stuff"
Him "ok"
10 minutes later he is one his way.
He was however. Very Gracious!
What a goof. I mean I know not everyone knows about cars, but I figured if you have a Vette, you might know how to get the car in neutral.

HA HA years ago when I had my 2000 SS Camaro a vette owner pulled up next to me and asked me if it was gears that was making my car so loud I told him no it was my exaust then he asked what kind of car it was and I was dumbfounded and he couldnt believe that my car was faster then his and I told him I had the same engine as in his car and he couldnt believe it. I was laughing histarically inside.

I cant count how many times I have had vette owners tell me I had no idea what I was talking about when I said the motor in my SS was exactly the same one in his C5. Then when I showed him the motor he yelled to his buddy "hey, this kid took a motor out of a vette and put it in his camaro, you need to see this". What can you.......

I was in Bellevue yesterday in my C5 and it's dirty as hell. A guy walking by when I was getting into the car noticed how dirty it was and gave me the thumbs up for "driving" my car and not wasting it in a garage.
