Default C3 Through the eyes of a millennial - enjoy

Sort of fun to see a millennial "discover" a `69 C3.

Even the obnoxious cat is apparently a C3 fanatic. (I used to hate cat creatures, maybe now not quite as much)

Enjoy!

I saw the video the day it was released. And I think that this kid gets it. I especially agree with his take on the C7.

Hoovie has some hilarious videos worth a look.
But this one is great.

Spinning a 69's tires in gravel does wonders for the paint on the rear quarter panels. With friends like that...who needs enemies?

That was neat ! I really like those Western wheels with the faux knock-offs on them, adds a whole lot to the look.

Sort of surprised that the tires would throw that much gravel and not hook up and burn a little rubber on the pavement.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering what the friend who loaned him the car would have to say after watching that...

Nice car, the steering box is pretty sloppy though. You shouldn't have to move the steering wheel like he did going straight.

And of course always check behind your car before spinning in gravel, as other cars' owners (who may've parked behind you) would be VERY upset if your car shot gravel at theirs.

He got a fish in his pocket? You KNOW that cat took a dump under the car.

And yes, if I loaned my '69 to someone who did that in a gravel parking lot they'd earn tmeselves a Vulcan Nerve Pinch from me when I saw the video

I loved it!

I agree with this kid 100% about the direction the Corvette has taken. Corvettes were ALWAYS easily distinguishable from EVERYTHING else. Today? Not. Shame.
