Have we hit bottom?
Yesterday I saw a red '87 coupe driving down Ocean Highway in Ocean City Maryland - It was pretty beat up and billowing smoke. Surfer decals all over it and a Pizza Delivery Light mounted on top. :cry

Id tail that driver and beat him senseless for having that pizza delivery sign on top.

Give the guy a break... it could be all he could afford and still own a vette. Not everyone has multiple cars and can afford to have a vette in the garage to wax while driving another car for work. :skep:

Good Pointm - I wasn't ragging on the guy, but just commenting on my surprise to see a Vette delivering pizza.

Beat up and billowing smoke, I can understand that if it's all you can afford and after all it is a Corvette. But when you start putting surfer stickers all over it, that's where I have to draw the line! You should have caught up with and :smash: him :)

Re: Have we hit bottom? (*89x2*)
I'm not surprised. How much do '87s go for now, like $2000? Plus, they don't even have as much HP as many late model FWD four door sedans.
Besides, what would be more fun for delivering pizzas?

It's actually a metal badge from Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, it matches the car perfectly, has the C4 flag on it. :cheers:
