While I was at the tech session in Chicago recently I stopped at a gas station and was asked if my yellow D was a new one! There must be a perception of them coming in colors now also. On another note, I had my first ride in a Corvette while I was at the tech session. Amazing... tons of power, solid car, stuck to the road, quite, etc.... but when we stopped at a gas station to get gas the one thing I really noticed.... nobody paid any attention to us!
