[edit] Model year for the one Kirk joyrode?

From a cursory familiarity with the marque I know that the production period for the C2 "Sting Ray" convertible ran from model year 1963 to 1967. Can any car buffs out there nail this down a ittle more precisely? Thanks. knoodelhed 15:55, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Added said detail with details. —MJBurrage(TC) 04:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Date?

When did this happen? 2241 would only make the kid 8. Did the film give either an age or date that I missed? —MJBurrage(TC) 04:16, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

If we can use Jimmy Bennett's age during production as a guide, 2245 or '46 seems like the proper period for this event. knoodelhed 19:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Bennett was 12 years 2 months old when the Corvette scenes were filmed. A twelve year old Kirk puts the scene in 2245. Since even child actors can play +/– a year or two, "circa 2245" is probably the best way to list it. —MJBurrage(TC) 03:16, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

2240s would be more appropriate. --Alan 16:07, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Can't help thinking

that this event might have accounted for Jim's presence on Tarsus IV. Just my 2¢. 208.127.138.175 15:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

This "event" took place in a completely alternate reality from the one where he was on Tarsus IV, a reality where he did not grow up with his father, etc. It has absolutely no influence, even existence, in the events that led him to be on Tarsus IV. We don't even have reason to believe that he ended up on Tarsus IV at all following the corvette incident. --OuroborosCobra talk 16:01, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
