I just met Ed Corney...
« on: April 15, 2010, 02:53:29 PM »
I know it's not that big of a deal, but my 17 year old son was with me. We were sitting in the Jack in the Box drivethrough (yep, eating junk)- I'm in my black Z06 and I see this black C4 pull into the Chevron station in front of me.


I saw him kind of stumble out of his Vette... my son makes this smart ass comment "he kind of looks like you"... I was like "fuck you" and so I pulled up alongside of him and I was gonna tell him how much I hate Vettes (being the smart ass that I am)-- and as soon as I stopped next to him, I was like "fuck me, a legend!"...


He has a very strong handshake. I remember seeing pics of him in a wheelchair after his stroke. He still looks great, and I know he's in his 70's. One can only hope...


He gave me his business card- I should have gotten a pic, but his card shows that he lives in the city right next to me. I'll probably pay the $$$$ just to train with him once or twice. I guess he trains out of Golds.


I'll get a pic then.



BTW, he has some shiny new C6 spokes on that 89 (for you Vette fans)



Cheesy story, but I was feeling pretty shitty when I woke up. Seeing him makes an old man like me (47) feel a lot better.


Peace, fuckers.


I'm gonna dig out my Pumping Iron vid.

two very sad things strike me about this "story"

  first is that you exposed your son to your love for other men and,

  second is that you consider yourself at 47 to be old

polychronopolous

Cool story, I wonder if he insured his Vette with Boyer Coe?

I accidentally called him "Franco"... His reply was: "fuck Franco" with a big grin.



And yes, I do "feel" old at 47. It's my job that does it to me.



And don't worry, my son knows about my love for men-- I mean Vettes. That's what started the whole thing. My original intent was to show my disdain for anyone who modded a perfectly fucked up C4 with C6 parts.  ;D

Did he offer you or your son a mustache ride?
