During spring break of 2005, I got to go to the Corvette factory. It wasn't just any normal tour, however. My father and I were there for one reason, to see his C6 on the assembly line. We got to walk the line with the car, installed a few parts, started it for the first time, and signed the car in two different places. After years of ownership, he has upgraded the Corvette in his garage, and the '05 model is in my garage now. Life is good..
