Advantages: Everybody talks to you Disadvantages: Everybody talks to you
...two names but had three, Chevrolet Corvette Sting-Ray, all screamed its origins as being not of the world as I knew it. Around about the same time I saw my first full-sized Corvette, on Pilgrim Street, in Newcastle, of all places. It announced its presence by the V8 Growl from its chromed side pipes. You could almost feel the ground shake as it rumbled past.

Ah, to be 19 once again! ...
