There are some things real Corvette guys just NEVER think about and that was one of them. Turn in your cool card immediately.

Which is your pick if ISIS confronted you?

C7 or Prius?

You must pick one to replace your C6. Don't be a coward and say I'd rather die.

My sister drank the Prius Kool-aid; I spoke to her a couple of days ago and she had driven her daughters Honda Civic and she said it had the "old fashioned"kind of speed dial; she thinks the rest of the world has digital numbers like the 80's cars and did not know we all went back to dials,,,,,,so naieve....

Should I sell my ZR1 and get a Prius?

YES...if you want to ever go to heaven. Driving too fast in a excessive fossil fuel hog wont get you there. Hugging a tree and driving a Prius...or even better yet, walking every where, WILL get you there.

I am not faced with the decision of selling my ZR1 and buying a Prius. Why? Well, next to my ZR1 in the garage ...is my GF's Prius. Yep, we drive the Prius instead of the ZR1 when the weather is crappy, when we are heading to the shopping malls (with crowded parking lots), when we are making short trips around town like to the gym, and going grocery shopping. Everyone needs a Prius to compliment their ZR1.

I'm surprised your ZR1 hasn't cannibalized her Prius yet

I was thinking about trading my prius in for a ZR1. Don't think I could live with the lost gas mileage though

Actually, I think the result of their "proximity" in my garage produced my neighbor's Tesla S The Tesla has a battery, is red like the Prius and has the TQ to go like stink off the line like a ZR1.
