Those that really know me - know that I have a general appreciation for cars of all types. 

This is a very nice Corvette.... however I do not like the most common accessory that comes with these cars - a prick in the driver's seat. 

That being said - nice car and if I somehow came into possession of such a car I'd sell it and buy something with a little more personality. 

Gee... I'm sorry... as nice of a car that it is... I just don't have anything positive to say about it.  Does anyone remember the VW Night at the Drive-In a couple years ago when the Rose City Corvette club and the VWs shared the same night?  I thought for sure there was going to be a fist fight. :o

By the way - did anyone notice that the driver's side front area got a little close to the curb?   ;D

That was the only thing I noticed in the picture to be quite honest. Not a fan of the 70s and 80s vettes at all. To each his own. I mean pricks need cars too....

The guy driving this one did look to live up to the "prick" stereo type, complete with stupid sun glasses and gold chains. I have just always loved this body style of vette. Not that there is anything wrong with the older ones but I just really like these.

That is true. For VW it was between 1968 and about 1995....

 Yup, I was there, now they were a bunch of pricks....I think the best part was, after they cut in line to get up front, not only could they not see the screen, everyone else was checking out the VW's...and those nice Corvairs...

I thought it was great... :P
