Default This Just In: Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance) Drives A Bada$$ '68

I was at Corvette Specialty Of California today getting some routine maintenance done on my '04 Z06. While I was taking care of paperwork at the register, I heard the engine of a pretty bada$$ sounding Vette startup from within the garage. Ken, the front desk guy immediately said, "You know who's Corvette that is? ...Michael Flatley." "You mean the dance guy." "Yeah."

That's right - Michael Flatley, of Riverdance and Lord Of The Dance, owns a beautiful red 1968 convertible with side exhaust. Apparently he was getting some work done on it before having it shipped to Europe. And he apparently also has a $40million insurance policy on his legs!
Anyway, I just thought some of you might find this amusing.

I'll leave you with a couple videos... enjoy.

Michael grew up in my neighboor hood, I went to the same grade school as him. It's cool to see he's got a 68.
