Right. They belong on a '69 427 with a crappy paint job, LOL! Probably fine in Iowa City.

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.

No, I was not familiar with that. That's some weird looking stuff.

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.

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.
