My life is now (almost) officially complete. I have seen nearly every single model of Corvette in existence. I'm one of those people who stops thinking, moving and sometimes breathing when they see a sports car. I want everyone else around me to share my enthusiasm as well. Say a Corvette passes by, I use what I call P.O.R.S.C.H.E (Pause. Observe. Run. Shout, "Corvette!!", and Hop Enthusiastically).
Inside the main lobby was a Corvette that you could sit in. After seeing those cars, we entered the Museum itself. The Corvette Museum holds some of the most rare, old, and overall cool Corvettes in the world.
So as you can imagine, a place like the Corvette Museum is about as close to heaven as you get.
The first thing we realized when we arrived was that we forgot the camera. So we had to buy a disposable camera. So, if the pictures are a little fuzzy, that's the reason. The next thing we saw was this concept Corvette that looks like Speed Racer.
There is a very large section of the museum dedicated to the history and improvements on the Corvette since it's release in 1953. There were many trivia machines spread out through the museum to help you learn (we missed nearly all of them. I'm not THAT much of a fan.)
After we examined all the history of the cars, we looked at the gallery of Corvettes. They had every kind of Corvette through the years, also the most popular. This also included the pace cars from the Indianapolis 500.
Then, unfortuantely, the tour was over. We had to leave. I wept. Unfortunately, they weren't giving away free samples either. There was a way to enter for a chance to win a Corvette (for just $200). Hmm....
