A Custom Corvette Allows People with Physical Disabilities the Opportunity to Drive for the First Time!

On October 28, 2018, Kimber Laux, a writer for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, published an article about a company that had developed a technology that enabled people with disabilities to pilot a Corvette at the Las Vegas Speedway.  While this article has less to do with the Corvette itself, we felt that this story exemplifies what the Corvette culture and community are all about.  The following story is our re-accounting of Kimber Laux’s original story.  You can also click here to read the original article.

Corey Capece, a 30-year old with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, has never known what it’s like to drive a car.  That changed on Sunday afternoon when he was able to sit behind the wheel of a car for the very first time….and what a first it was!  You see, Corey’s first driving experience took place behind the wheel of a specially-modified C7 Chevy Corvette Stingray.
