Honda makes a nice reliable car but it is no Vette. Take him for a ride and show him what some muscle can do.
Ask him how many times he gets a thumbs up or "nice car" in his Honda. I get it pretty much every time I take mine out.

Honda automobiles are disposable cars. You don't restore Honda's. Remember when Honda's first came to the U.S.? How many of those early years do you still see on the road? I can't even remember the last time I saw a '77 Accord on the road...yet they were everywhere in the late '70's and early '80's.
Owning a Corvette....you either get it or you don't. My affection started in 1958 when my future brother-in-law would pick up my sister in his 1953 Corvette (#14) and had to take me along as part of the deal (my parent's idea). I was 8 years old and hooked on Corvettes ever since.

seriously speaking now, in Italy nobody would argue anything about a honda beeing superior or even at the same level of a corvette, of any year.
Corvettes over here (and for 'here' i mean Italy) are mostly seen as the american dream made as a car, instead a honda would only be an honest citycar

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.... Do yourself a favour and don't get involved in the BS. I know sometimes it's hard to walk away but trust me you're better off.

Comparing Hondas & Corvettes is like comparing Piper Cubs & F-16s. Both fly but one turns better & flys a helluva lot faster!!
