Joe digs Vettes.
DETROIT — Vice-President Joe Biden is a known Corvette fan.
So it makes sense that he would want to check out the Greatest Corvette in Human History — the Corvette Grand Sport.

Biden was squired around the GM booth at the Detroit auto show by GM VP Mark Reuss, a Vette man himself who is often spotted at race tracks worldwide with Corvette Racing.
