Yeah, Corvette; what else could it be if not an F-car. The first day I got my 92 white (spring '94), a kid asked me if it was the new Camaro. Actually not a bad question for an optimistic salivating young American car aficionado. Kind of like some folks waiting around for the next gen NSX. In 10 years of ownership, he was the only one to ask me that.

Apparently, if you look at it from above, the building is supposed to look like the dashboard of a classic 'vette.

So, ummmmmm... is this helicopter ride included in the price of admission because, unless it is, the only view you get is of a building that looks like it was designed by a moron.

eh. No need to stop as we pass, IMO.... I'll wait until we get to Loveless Cafe. The homemade biscuits and jelly are much more interesting.

It's a Nova.

Circa 76-77ish model. Infamous for a rear traking problem. Followed many that I could see the drivers front tire. Hilarious.

That was cool. I didn't know my car can do that. It almost looks like my car is drifting a little. Now, can you put a Corvette trailing behind me? Just kidding.

HAHAHAHA!!! I love it!!!

Your brother is right: The curved front is supposed to look like the dashboard and the yellow and red spire mimics the tail light of a 1953 Corvette. As I'm sure you're well aware, it's really the only man-made thing that sticks out on Kentucky portion of I-65.

I attended school in Bowling Green, KY and lived there when the museum opened. As far as automotive museums go, it's actually not so bad. Perhaps it does look like it was designed by a moron, but I think it's pretty remarkable to have such a large museum dedicated to a single vehicle model... built with a modest budget and in a short time, as well.

Corvettes are not my cup of tea and I'm not sure the museum would interest the average person, but it must be insanely cool for Corvette enthusiasts: They have a museum that's exclusively their own across the street from the assembly plant that's produced nothing but Vettes for decades in the town that's home to an annual gathering that attracts 5,000+ Corvette owners over one weekend.

Yeah. I'm always more interested in the giant dinosaur.

Agreed. There should be more of those and as much as I might get flamed for this, I wouldn't mind visiting a Mustang museum that was on the scale of the NCM.

As a kid, I loved Corvettes. I dreamed of owning one for quite a while (What kid doesn't?) and would have been drooling on the front entrance at one time.

I'm just kind of.... meh... about them now. I blame gdae.

He's been filling my head with info about the NSX for several years. I look at the 'vette and even high end cars differently now.

Isn't that a Corvette?

**RP-Motorsports** · 03-11-2008, 17:35

Never been to the museum, but I went through the plant tour down the road last year, and it was AWESOME. I am not a vette lover, but itwas cool to see them being built. The day I was there, they built the Ron Fellows Z06. I got lucky.
