[Elecraft] FW: [cwops] merger of Alpha and Ten Tec

Disclaimer: The first and last Corvette I owned was a 1956.  (Don't I wish I had 
that back?)

That said, what's your issue with Corvette owners?  The new Sting Ray will blow 
the doors off exotics costing many times what it costs and get better fuel 
mileage than some "economy" cars while doing it, and costing little more than 
some boring mid-sized sedans or SUVs.

 From edmunds.com:

    "You can also see the average miles per gallon figure, which was achieved on
    91-octane fuel, and with judicious use of cruise control and seventh gear. I
    did drive all day Sunday from Kansas City to Detroit (about 750 miles) in
    Economy mode, which seamlessly deactivates four of the engine's eight
    cylinders when their performance is not needed. That day I averaged over 29
    mpg. Like I said, amazing. I wish I had used that technology throughout the
    trip."


One could easily argue that the Corvette is the K3 of the automobile world.
