Default What's the worst thing about owning a Corvette?

Pick from the list of 10 choices. This should be interesting.

I originally posted this a year ago. I am updating it on 9/15. At that time, the number one worst thing about owning a Corvette was having to let a dealership touch it for service. Let's see where it goes.

You have one missing. Have to take it in to your local incompetent Chevy Dealer for repairs.

I really don't have a problem with any of those.
My worst, being an old geezer with stiff joints, is getting in and out of it. But once in I'm 25 again...

I voted for having to let the dealership touch the car, but I was really looking for was the following...

"having to argue about your car over the internet on a daily basis"

I've read about new self-cleaning glass. Wouldn't it be great to have a self-cleaning Corvette?!!

I had a tough choice between all the ricers, pickups, and economy cars that want to race versus letting a dealership service it.

I chose the drivers wanting to race only because this idiot in a Ford Focus had the nerve to tailgate me this evening and I was in the far right lane.

Good poll! Although I don't really consider anything to be a problem with owning a Corvette, it was a toss-up between having to clean it all the time (because I live down a dirt road and I clean the car a lot) or having to let the dealership work on it. I choose having to let the dealership work on it not so much because the dealership is an total nightmare...just because if they're working on it something's wrong.

IMO there isn't much wrong with owning a Vette....the car is a total blast!
