Thank you, now I don't have to watch it and then wish I could get my 11 minutes back!

However, I don`t really agree with much of it. I wouldn`t kick most of them out of my garage!

If you read the article that goes with the video, it's not really about hating these five Corvettes. It actually discusses these 5 Corvettes and gives some insights into what was happening with Corvette over the years. I, for one, am not a fan of the Cross Fire injection used in 82 and 84 and was sad to see the slow neutering of the Corvette in the 70s. But, in my opinion, there has never been a bad or hated Corvette. I love my 71 and my 14 Stingrays and both get constant thumbs up from other drivers.

For what it's worth I feel the words LOVE and Hate are the 2 most misused words in everyday life. Phil

People vary greatly in tastes. Personally C2 Corvettes are on my top ten list of the ugliest cars ever made. I'm sure you can think of many cars you find hideous but no doubt at least the designer of the car and those that approved its production thought they were nice looking.

I think the video is spot on. If you havent watched it, if you know anything about corvettes history, if you didnt listen to what the man said, if you even lived thru part of the era, then how can you criticize?

I think 'most hated Corvette' is like 'worst sex'....it's still good in the overall scheme of things.
