Default stranded on the highway!!!!!

On the 21st of june 2003, i was on my way to Sudbury from Kingston. About a 7 hour trek when the old reliable vette left me on the side of the 400 north highway just south of Barrie.(a 400 highway in Canada is like an Interstate) :mad Almost exactly halfway from home and halfway to my destination :cry
of the hundreds of cars that past my smoking car that day, the only one who stoped to give me a hand was a kind gentleman in a yellow C-5 vert. :cool:
to you kind stranger i say thank you!!!

At least another Corvette stopped and you didn't have to worry about getting robbed....

Did he get you running, or give you a ride????

Sounds like those cool Budweiser commercials:

Thanks to you - Mr yellow C5 convertible driver.
We all look up to you when the coolant is on the pavement.
You always have a spare quart of oil to give.
Whether it's offering a lift to the next town or simply offering your cell phone -
you are there to help your fellow vette owner.
So raise your cans or bottles and have a toast. Here's to you Mr yellow C5 convertible owner.
You da man.

:seeya Glad to see someone stopped for you. :yesnod:

:cheers: Go ahead and post this in C5 where he might see it! :lol: (If you haven't already). That should make up for a few of those "C5 didn't wave" threads!! :lol: MJ
