A study in contrasts

Don't know if you read any of the comments at the end but one gal called him "Gimme" (as in give me)Johnson. I believe that will be my new name for Jimmie. My feeling is that the group giving the award should also be condemned for being so foolish to give it to him three times and he never shows up. No respect for the award then fine ... we'll give it to another MORE deserving driver, and we all know there are plenty of them.

I suppose they were tickled pink (or green $$) when the concept Corvette sold.

No doubt. It would be cool to have a job working for them. But in my case I would say to the auctioneer hey wait a minute what was the bid?! LOL!
