Say:

1. "I like it."
2. "I'm not buying it for you."
3. "There's no universal agreement as to what year was the worst, if there was one."

Well I guess the 53807 people who bought the 79 corvette didn't think so.

Wow, people can be stupid. I like some 'vettes more then others. That is my opinion. I see some cars (not 'vettes) that I really don't like at car shows, but I see a happy and proud owner who loves that car and spent his time and money to make what HE (or SHE) makes them happy.
At very worst I would just not say anything if I did not like a car, but it takes a special kind of dumb farker to say something like that.

The dumb *** asking the question would probably say that about any car you were driving with style and for sure with a Ferrari of any age and stage. There is no accounting for people who are just mean by nature.

IMHO

Someone told me one time they liked my vette but it needed to be red. My response was thanks what year red vette do you own? They walked away quietly mumering they didn't own one.

Anyone that has the ignorance to critique someone's investment is someone that is too ignorant to have an expert opinion, possess genuine knowledge of cars, and are too stupid to appreciate the beauty of a C3. Too bad for them!
