Default Said No C3 Owner Ever

Thought I would start this thread for anyone who is interested. The new trend is statements that would never be made, for example: Said no teacher ever, "Just watch the movie, it's the same as the book."
I invite you to be more creative than I am.
Said no C3 owner ever, "I'd rather have a Mustang."

If my brakes fail, I can always use the emergency brake to stop.

Damn this car is comfortable!

Holy crap I'm freezing in here!

This sure was a great investment!

This car is so easy to work on!

Good thing Corvettes don't rust!

I wish I had less horsepower!

You kids keep it down back there!

I could go on, but I'll give others a chance! !!!!!!

"I'd rather have a C4"

"Can I put a 2 barrel on it?"

"I think I'll use valet parking"
