Out of its element

On the coldest day of this winter we decided to drive up Hwy 27 to Lexington to finish up Christmas shopping(that's Holiday Shopping for you left-wingers) at one of the shopping centers. The weather was, and still is, horrible with temperatures in the teens and blowing snow. The roads were mainly clear due to the efforts of highway workers applying salt and scraping. There were several cars off the road , and a couple were actually turned upside down outside of Lancaster. This is not the Weather Channel and I'm not Paul Goodloe, but I'm setting the stage for this narrative . As we pulled in to Best Buy it became obvious,and completely expected that all close parking spaces within two acres were taken . Those about to be vacated had motorists hovering like vultures , waiting for the coveted parking space. As I didn't care to walk we parked way up next to Nicholasville Road and started to the store. I immediately saw a nearly new Corvette wedged between two SUVs. The driver no doubt was joyful at finding the close parking to the front door ,and had driven the black convertible between the behemoths. I didn't see her, but this was without a doubt a woman driver because NO male Corvette owner would willingly drive his car between two parked vehicles. Corvette owners are usually slim because they only park miles away from other cars, and they will not take them out on rainy or snowy days. This beautiful car was covered in road grime and nasty salt.The black cloth top was equally filthy. It had to be a girlfriend out on a lark with a middle- aged crazy guy's car. I hope he doesn't see the shape it's in.There's a lot of women in the world but a limited number of black,kick-ass Corvettes.Whoever the guy is that let the chick sneak out with his Vette on a snowy day you are a dumbass. If you find out ,do the honorable thing and take her keys away!I'll bet she's got that Clay Aiken Christmas cd in the player. Double shame on your ass!
