My son decided that me knowing the time was not good enough....
......he wants me to know the Corvette time. :D
Every hour, it plays Corvette sounds. :steering: On Christmas evening (after putting batteries in), I had forgotten that it was in the room. All of a sudden I heard this big block revving and burning rubber. :eek: :eek: :eek: Then I remembered.........the Corvette Clock! :lol:
Up in the garage it goes. :thumbs: It just keeps getting better...... :chevy

Re: My son decided that me knowing the time was not good enough.... (67HEAVEN)
does it do the same sound for each hour or does it do the "correct" sound for each car ?

:lol: My mother in law got my father in law and myself one for Christmas also.
The sounds verses the years is sort of accurate. All the C-5's sound like LS1's for sure, now the other years are questionable. The 1 o clock position (53) sounds like a V-8 instead of a straight 6.
It scared my wife while she was home alone on Friday. BWAHAHAHA!!! :lol:
Mother in Law said she got them from: http://www.seventhavenue.com
and said it was around $40.00. But I couldn't find it on there site. She said she would get the item number because I knew someone else would want one.

I doubt there are any left, but the department store "Marshall's" had them around the begining of December.....$19.95 each!!!! (They're 29.99 in Eckler's catalog)
When I got there, they had five left. I bought all five. Made some of my Vette pals very nice Christmas gifts.

Hey those are cool. Wonder why my wife didn`t come up with one of those for me. I may just have to go in there and give her what for........... :blueangel: :yesnod: or something like that. She did tell me she had a hard time shopping for me because she says, "Eddie if you want it, you usually buy it before I can." And that is usually how it goes. :iagree:

I got the same one for Christmas from my daughter and son-in-law. :cool: The only bad thing about it is that it scares the heck out of us when it goes off, but we will get used to it.
Its actually very cool, there is a sensor at 12 o'clock that looks for light, no light, no sound so you don't hear it at night when trying to sleep.

Hey I GOT ONE! I GOT ONE! :lol: :lol: :lol:
My wife picked one up for me for Christmas also. It is pretty cool and it even has a light sensor that shuts off the sound at night. She got it from www.corvette50th.com
