Random Corvette Fact of the Month: The Corvette Name

The Chevrolet Corvette was named after the corvette, a small manuverable warship.  Corvette warships are commonly used today by a number of modern navies, although some do not the use the term corvette.  Corvette ships are typically armed with small- to medium-caliber guns, surface-to-air missles, and underwater weaponry, and are typically used in conjunction with gunships during battle. 

Random Photo of the Month: The Tuxedo Dragster

I call this car the "The Tuxedo Dragster."  It's a highly modified C1 Corvette drag race car that I photographed at a Corvette event in 2004.  Wow.  Check out that engine. 

The car attracted quite a crowd.  The engine had a nice growl and the fat tires gave the car a nice bounce.  Didn't get to see it race, though.
