Cute story, and WOW on that experience. But I gotta tell ya... if you went from the earyl-1960s to early 1980s not realizing that the dudes who flew in space, walked on the moon, and got ticker-tape parades on Broadway "weren't famous".. well, pick up a magazine, my friend!

Also, did they ALL own corvettes, or just some?

A C7 Z06 Corvette, of course. Dude is gonna bad arse to the very end.
