Most unusual comment I have had so far was from a new neighbour who said he thought Corvettes were selfish cars because they only had two seats. I figured his V8 powered Toyota off road race truck fitted the same definition. Hot rod people here seem to be the most stand offish about the Corvette whereas I like looking and talking about their creations.

Look at his tire and ask him if that’s dog **** on it... Really has nothing to do with the situation but may make him think, if that’s possible...

Hi C3 guys!
How do you react when someone talks crap about Corvette C3:s?
There was this guy (I just know him a little bit) who was joining me and some of my friends for a coffee and to talk about cars etc..
Then he tells this story "I was last weekend on a trip looking for some vintage US car to buy, they had many US cars for sale there at that place, then he looks at me and said, they also had a Corvette like yours -but who would want to own a car like that"....and he was serious, not trying just to be joking...
I did not know what to answer at that time, I know that this guy is into old 50-60´ties Buicks (I did not find the words fast enough for answering back something crap about his car).
Maybe he was just jealous when my C3 turns way more heads than his old Buick =)

Exactly, he´s been trying to accomplish any of those jobs that require baby hands and special tools from hell. Owning a C3 can be a love-hate relationship!Serioulsy though, trash-talking another mans car is like saying his wife is ugly, you just don't do that (even if it happens to be true...)
Taste is different but if you don't like it - keep your opinion for yourself and say something polite. Or better yet keep your moth shut and say nothing at all!
