Senator Reynolds files bill naming the Corvette as the official state sports car

It's certainly a nice idea, and a clever way to promote tourism into the state.

I do, however, have two questions about this:

1) If you are driving "The Official Sports Car of Kentucky" in Kentucky, are you still required to adhere to the posted speed limit?

2) Does this mean all 49 other states are required to adopt an official sports car? I can just see California naming the Prius as its official "sports car."

Catbert,

You are correct on all accounts, the Senator, a junior senator at that was critisized for submitting this bill in light of the more pressing issues of budget shortfall.
