Default Things that I've learned about Corvette's.

1. When you take something off to add to it. After you've removed it. It never wants to go back on.

2. The 10 minute oil change becomes a 10 years frame off restoration because you saw some frame rust.

3. Your Corvette doesn't like to be up to par 9/10 times when there are hot chicks around.

4. Your friends always slam the doors.

5. Changing a bad part to a new good part always points out atleast 10 other bad parts.

6. No matter how many times you wash your Corvette a week. There's always bird poopie on it somewhere.

7. You build a 400HP 350. A friends puts a 502 in his Chevelle. Then you spend the next 6 months of your life building a better 522 just to show Corvette's are better.

8. You spend 3 hours explaining to your significant other that the black rubber on the back fender isn't from your tires, but infact from the punk kid in the Mustang that was trying to race next to you..but you were self controling enough NOT to race him.

9. Your speed-o is never "really" correct according to the cops.

10. Your Corvette could blow up, get acid spilled on it, **** you off and make you want to burn it. But as soon as you drive it...everything is redeemed (sp?)

:crazy:

12. You only see other vettes that you could wave at when your driving something other than your vette.

13. No matter how well it seems to be running there will be some wierd noise you've not heard before.

14. They raise the gas prices on the same day it is nice enough to take her out for a spin.

That is SOOO true! I have that too. There aren't too many vettes hre in the Netherlands and in all the years I met 3 whilst driving the vette (not including meetings of course!) when I'm in my everyday econobox I see a vette every now & then and think.. "damn I wish I was in the Vette":( :(

4. Your friends always slam the doors.
i bitch and bitch, and they never learn. It's "Classic" not old.
7. You build a 400HP 350. A friends puts a 502 in his Chevelle. Then you spend the next 6 months of your life building a better 522 just to show Corvette's are better.
Or your buddy builds his 67 mustang's little 289 up and to show him up you decided to buy an LS1. :D actually i want to show everyone up :lol:
8. You spend 3 hours explaining to your significant other that the black rubber on the back fender isn't from your tires, but infact from the punk kid in the Mustang that was trying to race next to you..but you were self controling enough NOT to race him.
Try being 17 and explaning an 8-point reckless driving ticket. ALL I DID WAS A BURNOUT!!! (it was dropped to 3- point speeding though :D)
10. Your Corvette could blow up, get acid spilled on it, **** you off and make you want to burn it. But as soon as you drive it...everything is redeemed (sp?)
Mine could run me over and i would see it as a "love tap" and say "Well at least its moving!"

15. Everyone wants to race you. No matter how many Hondas and Acuras i eat, theres 10 more that want to be eaten.
