The Electron/Nassau Blue coupes do actually have more room in the cargo area.
I'm pretty sure that's common knowledge,but if it isn't,they do.
Something to do with the best colors having the most room,or something like that........
And of course,they're a little faster...

Couldn't do that in my vert, I tried to get the bike in. It was not going, not without resting on a body part and that was not going to happen. I rode it home, walked back to get the vette.

Why the hell would anyone want to pedal a bicycle if they have a Corvette they can drive?

So they can live long enough to enjoy their Corvette (and not die young, like my brother). Good enough reason?

Give Mountain biking about a ten minute try-It'll let you know just how bad of shape you're in-if it doesn't kill you first...

That is pretty impresive. How big is your bike? I need to go out of town, and I want to take my road bike, and it's a 56cm or 58cm frame and it has biggo 700x25c wheels in it.

One of my son's is a Cat-1 men's elite racer. When I was in Sturgis last year he called me on the cell and said he and my wife were headed to the bike race in Muscatine Ia and that he was doing 130. I told him he was a wuss because the car will do 170.

Any way the coupe does have a lot of room in the back and I am sure that there have been many others who have carried bikes.

Oh! and the turd never washed the car when he returned.
