A blind guy and a guy with cerebral palsy test drove a new Corvette! The blind guy actually drove the 500 horsepower car in a high speed run across the empty Tacoma Dome parking lot while his hapless passenger strapped in and screaming as the car smoked across the big lot. After his run the passenger recovered suggested they do it again. "OK", replied the blind driver, "but this time without leaving on the parking brake." The video dodumented thier test drive was made into this 'webmercial' promoting a raffle by NCIL, a national disability rights advocacy organizatuin, that at the time was raffling off a new 2007 Corvette. Produced by Gordon Fuller (appearing as "the driver"), of Scenic Bay Pictures, digital photography by Judy West, written and directed by CJ Chaney of WebmercialSeattle.com. Special Thanks to Jett Chevrolet of Seattle and to Gary Dunning ("the Passenger").
Get the facts! I am the blind guy who produced the video 'infomercial' for the raffle (also the driver -- didn't plan it that way but, I was the only one that could drive that day). My passenger was Gary Dunning of Tacoma WA, a guy with CP. The Vette was from Jet Chevrolet -- they dropped it off as requested (window sticker said $70k!) Four months later a new Vette was awarded to the winning raffle ticket holder. NO FAKES!
