One guy wanted to buy my 95 at 6 am in the morning and then the sun came out he found out it was purple instead of black... lol...
That dude was excited, and then so disappointed because the price was low and everything.

that and all the compliments I got from 55 year old women...

then there was the "only a pimp would drive a purple corvette" comment.

mechanic at a smog inspection station about my 92 coupe: your serpentine belt is installed upsidedown.

About 5 years ago somebody asked me if my '86 was new.

Somebody once asked me how fast my car could go. I told him 150 MPH and he snorted in disgust and said, "Yeah, right". If you're not going to believe my answer then why ask?

At a gas station, "Too bad it's an 84 instead of an 85..."

I had a old lady at a gas station 2 weeks ago, get on me for driving a fuel gulping V8 sports car when the gas prices were so high. I guess she blamed me for fueling the problem.. When I told her it got way better gas mileage then her older Chevy she got all quiet for a few seconds, then turned around and while stomping away says,, "Your just showing off for the young girls anyway"......WW

I have had a couple people tell me they once had a car "exactly like" mine, oddly enough I have never seen another silver 86 with a black halo, black cowl stripes on the hood, with glassed in flares, glassed over antenna hole, brushed aluminum interior, and suede 96 sport seats set up to run a harness through, there is more too but those are the most obvious.
I've also had people ask if I painted the halo black to look like a z28 and once had a guy complement my "skyline style" tail lights...

Actually the stupidest things said about my C4 have come from other Vette owners. They ask me "ARE YOU GAY?" [im not,but there is nothing wrong with that] I say why do you ask? The answer usually is "Its the Color of your car!!!" You can see it in my avatar....

Nathan Plemons

Hmm... I always liked that color, I'm not gay. Oh well. A good friend of mine drives a purple one, he's not gay. It's really a nice color.

I love it when the dude as the gas pump filling up his 9mpg Expedition shakes his head when he looks at my car and says "must be nice to be able to afford to drive that thing."

Checking my oil at a gas station and a guy said the same thing....

Last night a couple of teenagers pulled up next to me in my 93 and asked "is that thing fast"? I replied, "what do you think"? Funny...

motor city dave

hitmanpty

A guy come up to me, and ask............Is that a Corvette?????


((((yes you right that is. a perfect legit question.... some people not in to cars like Iam .)))))

Frizlefrak

You need to get out more.

Had a guy ask me that with the Fiero once back in the 80's...."do they come in 4 door?"

You should have answered "Why, you looking for a date tonight?"

A friend of mine's son asked me "Does that have a Corvette engine in it?"

I told him no.. it was a Honda.

I used to pick up one of my sister's friend everyday on the way to high school, and the first time I picked her up in the 'vette I pulled up to her house and she said "wow! nice muscle car!"

This wasn't said about my 'vette, but a friend of mine posted a picture of the gears for his rear Dana 60 in his Jeep and a guy commented "that's the transmission right?" When my friend broke the news to him that it was an axle, he responded "Oh its because I usually work on muscle cars not jeeps so its different" Riiiiggghhhtttt.....

I was chilling at the local cruise in one Saturday night with my wife and son when some midlife crisis guy gets out of his brand new Mercedes with a girl half his age on his arm walks up to us, looks at the car and asks in a serious "What makes it so special?"

My wife walked away, she was laughing hysterically at this guy, I think it was his bad hairpiece or just his shear rudeness. I just smiled, looked over at his car then at his girl and said, "Its paid for."

My buddies that were hanging with us all laughed. Needlesstosay, Mercedes dude didn't last long at this cruise in and hasn't been back since.

About my old Vette:

"What year is it?"

"88, just like it says on the license plate"

Sweet Jesus... where to begin.

• I get the gas mileage comment a lot in the daily driver Z06. People refuse to believe that it gets the same mileage as their Accord.
  
  
• Them: "Is that new?" Me: "No it's a '96/'02 (depending on which one I am in)" Them: "Are you sure?" Me: "You know... it might be a new one. I better look that up to be sure"
  
  
• I got asked a few months ago if the '02 was a Ferrari. I told the guy it was a 2002 Z06. He shook his head like I didn't know what I was talking about and walked away.
  
  
• I got asked at a car show "Did the interior come from the factory like that?"
  
  
  
  
  
• As I was installing the Wilwood brakes, my neighbor stopped by to say he had a buddy (it's always a buddy) who had a Corvette that came with them from the factory.
  
  
• "That's not an LT4, it has a carburetor" (more times than I can count) I've actually had that said on here.
  

...and the question that I have heard more times than I can count:

"THAT THING GOZT NAWZZZZ?"


It gets even better when people see the oil sump. It is a 100% guarantee that if I have the hood up someone will ask if it is my "NOS tank".
