Corvette Vito



Brian brought home a ZO6 Corvette for a week as part of the General Motors Ambassador Program.
The program asks employees to drive new, cool vehicles, which helps them better understand the company’s cars. It also encourages them to become strong sales ambassadors for GM products.
Brian took the $75,000 car all over metro Detroit, including Ann Arbor, where Nick and Beth had the opportunity to drive it around campus.
Even 17-year-old Christina took a turn at the wheel. Brian said she did better than me. I’m not that great with a stick shift. When the light turned green at Grand River and Drake in Farmington, I shifted into first and tapped the gas. It was too much. I laid a patch and felt like an idiot.
All week, Vito watched from the front window as we backed out of the driveway and took off in the low, sleek automobile.
On the last day, after the people were all done with the Corvette, it was finally Vito’s turn to go for a ride.
