Default Sorry, not available for your C3.

Just C5-C6. Forgotten again. Where's the C1-C2 & C3??? Just saw this in Mid-America's new catalog.

Don't think I'd order one anyway. I'm not a "ring" kinda guy.

Looks to me like bling from the "blue oyster bar" Len
Even if they made a C3 one, i could never see myself sporting one.
No real personal touch with the ring apart from your vin, just mass produced bling(ghey)

Too bad, I would probably buy one. They seem to either forget us or what they do make looks like doggy doo

That's ok, I stopped wearing rings after my mishap with my wedding band and the doctor contemplated for 20 minutes whether to remove my finger or not. Been 3 years now and my wife has yet to ask me to put another one on.

Sad thing is, they'd probably take up the cause. I don't care for some of the battles that org has chosen to fight.

Naw, that company just figures us C3 guys need more money for repairs, frames, windshield posts, exhausts, etc., for our beloved C3s. They figure the last thing we have any "extra" money for is a ring.

Your analysis is close, but not correct...

Fact of the matter is, when you drive a REAL car like a C3 you don't need no stinkin' rings.

I don't think I could see me wearing one of those. I wear my wedding band on weekends when we go out. Never to work though. I like my fingers where they are.

The manufacuter may have realized that most of us C3 owners would rather spend $300-$500 on the car rather than a piece of metal for our finger.

I can't imagine wearing one of those.

"Naw, baby, it's my Corvette ring!"

uncomfortable silence ensues....

My thoughts exactly. If I wanted bling in any area of my life I'd buy an Escalade. There's a difference between style and flash.
