    Welcome to the forum and Prius ownership!

    The 3rd car looks like a C6 Corvette. Maybe?

    I believe you are correct (says the former Vette owner).

    OP, welcome!

    Me too (02), along with an 81 C3. I've been thinking about a C6 vert, though, or maybe a Lexus SC430.

    I thought at first it was a vette too but I think it might be a scion. Too short for a vette.

    Look at the sloping back window then below that on the rear fender is the rectangular side marker light. Then on the front of the car the lower grille opening is that of the C6 as well as the brake vent on the front fender in front of the driver's side door. Those were some of the clues that lead me to believe it is a C6. :)

    Yeah, there appears to be something like a lawnmower between the last two cars at the rear that makes it hard to tell but the roof is definitely vette.

    I notice he has plastic parking blocks on the floor to indicate how far to pull in. Beats the old tennis-ball-on-a-string method. I still have a ParkZone on the front wall of one side of my garage from when I used to own large vehicles. It worked OK, but ate batteries.

    they are actually leftover wood planks from when we built the house. I measured them to be the same size as the front track. Works great from hitting the wall...or have the garage door hit the rear bumper.
