CHP Cop in December 2004

My LT1 had C5 wheels.

Cop: with the registration on his hands, "are you sure that is a 95?"

Dude at the gas station

I saw you driving one just like that one (my Dark Red) in Silver about a week ago, Do you have two of them?

Me: are you sure?

Hmm...I don't know

Casket86

The day I brought it home...

Dumbass neighbor "Is that yours"?

me "yep"

Dumbass Neighbor "did you buy it"?

I think its time to move.

.....that made me laugh.

When I brought my 96 coupe home, my neighbor said..."pretty low, you won't have to reach too high to wash it." I'm thinking...." at 6'2" I don't usually have a problem washing any of my vehicles. Now GTF out of here!!

Midnight 85

Guy at a cruise night said he had never saw a Corvette that the hood flipped forward like mine.

Since we are relating dumb stuff:

The set up:
Flying by a tire store I spot a c4 with a for sale sign that looks like it has a Greenwood kit on it. I stop on the way back home to take a look. All the ground effects have holes & missing parts from off roading, the paint is faded bad as well as all the carpet. The dash is broken, seats are ripped up, on & on. Calling this car a POS would be a compliment.

Several days later at the local "fillin station" a guy strikes up a conversation.

him- What year is your Vette?
me-Its a 90.
him-Probably worth about 5 grand right?
me-Might be worth a bit more, only 32K miles on it.
him-Did you see the 88 Greenwood for sale down the road? Its mine, got a new engine in it & its really fast.
me-I did see it, whats the asking price?
him-8800.00, its worth more than that with the new engine & all, priced it low for a quick sale.
me-Good luck with your sale, would like to stay & talk but the Mrs. is waiting on me.

That car never moved an inch in 2 months then it was gone.

Same gas station several weeks later, a different guy.

him-Nice Vette.
me-Thanks.
him-Wanna trade?
me- For what?
him-For this here 68 Dodge pick up, its a special edition with bucket seats. I keep it in really nice shape, it'll be worth a lot of money some day.
me-It is a nice truck but I have a truck, a Super Duty, need it to pull my big trailer. Take care.

I absolutely LOVE living in the country.

First evening I had the 84 (3 days ago), I pull up to a light in the middle lane. Dude in the car to my left:

"I LOVE Corvettes! What year is that, a 72?"

Like I always say - stupidity should be painful.

Guy at a gas station: "Is that your Vette?"

Me- "Yep!"

Guy- "Nice car, my cousin had one like it- it was an '83."

Me- "Wow, those are pretty rare! Does he still have it?"

Guy- "Naw, he sold it a long time ago"

Me- "That's too bad- it would be worth an awful lot of money today."

ignatz521

A guy at a light in a bone stock Monte carlo ( intiminater) when I had my mildly modified 92. him..wanna run that thing to the next light? me..nah really , the light turned green and I punched it and left his butt at the light.

Things said about my 90' vert
"that got the v6, or v8?"

"that the 90 zr1?"

"That has the IRS rear those are like glass!"

"is this different than driving other cars with automatic?"

"whoa look at that motor that thing would kill my 409 chev !"

mike100

Some comments similar to: 'only a girl or a pimp would drive a purple car', but much less politically correct.

"Damn those rear tires are wide!" (315's)... Seriously though, everybody loves the 315's.

I have 2:

One at a gas station some older guy was like "how fast does that go like 90mph?"
I couldnt believe he was serious but I answered with, "no it goes more like 170mph"
He was shocked for some reason!

Then the same day some guy in a pickup at a red light said, "is that new or an 09?"

I laughed and said its a 96 and he was shocked!

That was a complement for me!!!

ch@0s

from guy with Lt1 who knows nothing about cars at a club meet... "So its a TPI those are slow".. While looking at this:

89 Vett

Took my boss for a spin... he turned down the radio so he could hear the engine (for this he gets points), he explains he's never heard the engine in the rear of the car before (he loses his points).

Seems every down on their luck guy downtown owned a vette just like mine with all manner of impossible combinations including engines and years... sadly even make once.

Possibly one of the best ones was the guy who was putting in flooring at my parents. It's not particularly noteworthy that he stated that he had a 95 that looked exactly like my 89. Under questioning it became his buddy's 95... under further questioning he accused me of not knowing what year my own car was.

I like to just tell people it's a prelude with an awesome body kit.

KARR

It's funny that you mention your neighbors. When I brought mine home, my neighbor, who happens to be of Indian decent, was so impressed with my car, he asks, "How much did you spend? $50,000?" That is a quote..
