Looks like it's a FL car. With exhaust that high, he doesn't have to worry about stalling when the roads flood, which happens every other month during storm season down there.
Still.....inexcusable, imo.

Dude, grow up. When you actually own a Corvette, then your opinion will carry some weight.
In the meantime, give your grandma the keys back to her car, and go
buy your own!
I'll wait.

Ugliest freakin' mod I have ever seen on a C5. Guess the driver wants everybody who sees this car to know a trucker is the owner???? Not for me no way.....

Hey, man, just because you can't afford a Corvette, don't take it out on me.
But, hey, hang in there with that paper route, and you'll get that Corvette some year.

that c5 probably has a welded chain steering wheel, and his naked lady mud flaps are on backorder.

Those crazy pipes and giant front spoilers on the foreign cars sure are a turn on. Think back when you where young and had an open mind.
I see $$ at the local body shops, I see people at car shows, I see people trying something new, different, remember when you did that stuff.
Sure it looks weird to us, why do we have Vett hatch backs, station wagon vetts, wide bodys etc.
Yes the black one with the chrome truck exhaust does look pretty lame.
