Default Own a Vette ... Become a VIP

True story. I was recently in NJ checking on some rental property. While at the rental agency, one of the agency brokers approached me and asked if I was with the Baltimore Ravens management team. Now, I am a season ticket holder, but certainly not part of the teams management chain. I looked a bit perplexed, so the broker told me he had seen the "Ravens" sticker on the car (see picture) and figured I was with the Ravens because he had heard a rumor that someone in the team management was looking to buy property. I guess driving a Vette indicates prosperity. Not one to shy away from some spin doctoring, I informed him that while I was with the Ravens, I was not the one interested in purchasing property. I did get first class treatment from the broker because he actually thought I was an NFL VIP. He was an avid Eagles fan so I had to do some tap dancing to make my spin believeable. It was a real hoot pulling this guy's leg a bit ... and I got a free pen and fridge magnet for my visit.

Good story! While I've never been mistaken for a celebrity of any kind, I do feel like a VIP when driving a Corvette.

Cool story. But man, seriously, get that sticker off your bumper. Don't they have NFL tags in N.C. And if they don't, you could put one on your tag between the numbers. Cool Vette too!!!

In NC, they don't offer special NFL team plates ... just NASCAR . I put personalized plates on (SEAJAY 3) ... it's my handle. I may opt out for a plate in the front of the buggie instead. And the way the Ravens are playing
