That's why I just built a detached garage, to keep the cats off the car I've also had folks say " Wow, you don't see many L88's around" to which I reply, "you sure don't, this is an L82"

Heard all of these...one other...."too bad you can't drive 'em in the rain"
Reason #1: "Can't control 'em in the rain - the *** goes everywhere"
(Best sportscar EVER made but not to a dude who's only ever driven FWD 100hp ricer's....)
Reason #2: "Damn guy! I wish you had brought your top! You want me to get a tarp out of the truck?"
(Poor education - "con-vert-i-ble" as opposed to "roof less")

"What? You've modified it? Oh no, you've completely destroyed the value of it!"
Usually followed by something like "My brother-in-law has an original unrestored 68 Mustang he's keeping to pay for his kid's college--now that's a rare car, don'tcha know!"

On the ride up to CF Cruise-In with 427Hotrod everytime we stopped for gas some guy would tell Jim he used to own one just like it.Maybe that"s why 67's are so cheap...everyone owned one.

"I had one with the optional T-tops"
"My brother-in-laws sisters stepfathers uncle had a 74. It had the aluminum body with the 454 6-pack 5-speed sidepipes and it was all stock with 300 miles on it. He bought it brand new and stored it in a bubble until somebody offered him $3,000,000,000 for it and he had to sell it...."

That sound resonable for a stock low mile aluminum body 74 Corvette.

I was at a car show several years back when one of the "more knowlegable" spectators was looking underneath my car and said to his friend "see there is no rear axel, this was one of the experimental front wheel drive Vettes"

I drove my 10 year old step son to school in the '71 convertible this spring.
Heard from kid 1: "Wow! Look at that car!"
Kid 2: "Yeah, that's a Shelby!"
Sure, he got it wrong, but I was a little impressed he'd heard of a Shelby. I assume he was thinking Cobra.

This is fact, I was there to witness. The fellow who built the bottom end of my pontiac motor, had I believe a 76 sitting in the garage. This thing was almost mint, he bought it for 3500.00. Bought it off of a gentlemen who saw the rust on the radiator housing. He was told by his friend that it was made of fiberglass and it wasn't rust but rott and underneath the the paint the body was rotted just as bad and he needed to dump it fast so 3,500.00 later my mechanic had it. He offered to sell it to me for 5,500.00, however I did not have the money. Again a believer in the, corvettes are nothing but fiberglass.
