John Corrado, was that you I saw???

[stuyguy]

About a week or two ago I saw a guy driving around midtown Manhattan in a car with NYS vanity plates that, I'm pretty sure, read "CORRADO." I think it was a blue-green convertible -- but I could be wrong on that score.

Was it you, John?

Damn this a heavy post. Umph... get up there where he can see you...

[John Corrado]

Morning, stuyguy.

Definitely not me, I'm afraid. Being from Maryland, I try to avoid driving around Manhattan, especially early in the morning. I also don't own a convertible, and I don't have vanity plates.


Having said that, while Corrado is a pretty uncommon last name, it's also a somewhat common first name for Italians (it roughly corresponds to the German 'Konrad').

Or, for that matter, the car itself might have been a Volkswagen Corrado. I've seen vanity plates that unimaginative before.


But glad to know your first thought was of me. Thanks!

John Corrado lives in the DC area*, so I doubt he'd have NY plates on his car.

*well, somewhere a lot closer to DC than to NYC, at least.

Ya snooze, ya lose, waterj2.

Actually, you can't assume much from me not actually being from the NYC area; I could always have been up there on business or on vacation. Or it could have been a relative of mine.

But I/it wasn't.

Of course, there is also no such thing as a VW Corrado Convertible
