Corvettes with automatics serve the older owners well. It is always interesting to read how they say I got the auto because it is faster, and read all their other post on the great gas mileage they get.
Most people know why they got the automatic and it is not because it is faster, it is because they are themselves slower.
First, i never mentioned a vw cabriolet but that was a cool story. A Miata and a vw cab should never be mentioned in the same sentence. A miata is one of the best driving cars out there irrelevant of price. What does being a man have to do with what you drive?? I can borrow a chihuahua, a pink umbrella and drive a vw cabriolet and still be more of a "man" than most. If you think a car makes you more manly, you are mistaken.
I don't think a car can make you more manly BUT a car can make you more feminine.
So lets say someone owns a Corvette, a BMW and appreciates all cars in general, are they still a *****? the same thing you said can apply to porsche, audi and most other manufactures that make amazing cars. Doesn't it annoy you when people say corvettes are for old geezers going through a mid-life crisis and couldn't afford a Porsche? generalizing works both ways.
Have owned about 20 BMWs since 1985 and I do not consider myself a *****, maybe a dirty old geezer but not a *****. There are ****** owning almost every make of car, including Corvettes.

Looks like that guy just underestimated the Bimmer's time and soft clutched it off the line thinking he'd catch him in the 1/4. Probably the black wheels! I know I'll get doo-doo for that joke! But to comment on "old geezers" owning Corvettes. Maybe some of the people that say this should attend a car show like we have down here in SW Florida in a week and notice how many Audi, BMW, Mercedes, McClaren, Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley, Jaguar, Masserati, etc owners are also "old geezers" too! Such moronic comments amaze me.
