We missed the rain somehow.

Sometimes I drive 'vettes at the auction and can't stand them. I'm always banging my right arm on something getting in and then I have to fall out of it. I guess if you pay for it you figure it out... 🤔

These newer ones are like strapping on a cruise missile with wheels. 👍

They aren't the easiest things to get in and out of that is for sure. To be honest, I don't particularly like the thing but my wife wanted one. For a supposed 5 ltr V8 it is gutless - my V6 E350 has more HP and torque.

The "freakiest" one I drove was a 2016 Stingray Z51 1LT. Freaky because it was rode hard and put away wet but you could tell it had "giddy-up" in the past.

Obvious question: do they make chocolate?

Oh... maybe Hershey on the chimneys is a clue.

New question: Why do they need chimneys to make chocolate?

They were the original chimneys that vented exhaust from the plant's coal and oil-fired boilers. Chocolate is no longer made in the original factory in the center of town and the smokestacks are no longer in use, but they remain in legacy. A newer factory, the West Hershey Plant a few miles away, still makes a limited selection of chocolate, including 70 million Hershey's Kisses a day. Other plants across the US, Mexico, Brazil, and India produce the bulk of Hershey's products. This is a huge tourist area, with Hershey Park (amusement park) and Chocolate World (massive retail chocolate attraction) at its core. It's also a major venue for concerts and shows. Everywhere you look, there are references to chocolate, cocoa, and the founder, Milton S. Hershey. Even the tops of the lamp posts through town are shaped like Hershey's Kisses. When the wind blows right, I can often smell chocolate in the air. 🙂

The tragedy of living in Chocolatetown, USA, is that I don't have a sweet tooth, and almost never eat chocolate at all! 🤣 Once a year, though (very soon, actually), we go into Chocolate World to buy a bunch of boxes of their seasonal run of Golden Almond bars to mail out to relatives for Christmas. Those I actually enjoy, though, and always keep a box for myself.
