I was behind a really slow Prius driver on a 2-lane road with no passing, his plate read "NO CO2" or something along those lines.
I finally got around him, gave him a good look at my "DIE HPPY" plates and dropped it into 2nd gear and chirped the tires and belched out a nice bit of smoke (leaking valve seals).
He probably thinks Corvette drivers are a-holes too.

Life is too short to drive an appliance. That aptly describes most cars on the road.

See personally, I think it's much more of a problem when posters like this hate other Corvette owners due to jealousy or whatever. Your little Honda driver isn't worth the bandwidth of this thread.

TT85,
That is a very elementary belief, in my opinion.
Why? Has he ever owned one? Ever driven one?
Keep in mind he doesn't like a car that goes back to 1953 and is currently in it's 6th generation of styling and enhancements.
A car that has changed drasticly in it's 54 years and just keeps on getting better.
A car that will turn heads almost everywhere it goes.
A car that is appealing to the eye, it looks "sexy", with it's curves and sharp nose.
For someone to say that they just don't like the Corvette in general tells me that the person saying just doesn't know Corvette enough.
OH and by the way, I don't wear a gold chain. I drive a 3/4 ton Chevy daily. And I'd have to agree with whomever said, "log chains" is more like OUR style. That would be me.
Also has a dislike toward the corvette in general

I still haven't seen that. Of course I live in the south where "Guido" would get trashed by a bunch of good 'ol boys.

So, I drove my vette to work today. One of my co-workers called my vettte "guido". Apperently referring to the gold chain wearin' stigma that the C4 somehow got stuck with. Also has a dislike toward the corvette in general - all because he says the drivers are A**holes. Now he is going to watch this thread to see the responses. Please give your thoughts on the community as a whole along with the various charities and events the community is involved with (i don't know but just a small portion of it). Thanks.

I am surprised he knew what a guido was being from Indiana. I don't think the people over in the Mercedes or BMW forums would be as helpful as you guys.
I don't know about you, but I don't think too many of us are wearing leisure suits strutting around Cranston, Johnston, or North Providence, RI with our gold chains. Maybe a few guys are still stuck in the 70s.
He wishes he had a masculine car like us instead of looking like Orville Redenbacher's grandson and driving home in his Jetta.
You should be proud to have any Vette and drive the best car out there.
