This is the old Corvette 10 Commandments, I think there is a revised one floating around somewhere.
Revised version includes: Act like a snob when you pass an older generation Vette. Etc..

The Corvette Owners' Ten Commandments

1. Always stop and lend assistance to a fellow corvette owner.
2. Never take your corvette out if there is a chance of inclement weather.
3. Always clean and polish your vette before any Sunday ride, no matter how short it is.
4. Never let anyone eat, drink or smoke in your vette.
5. Always make sure all occupants clean their shoes and lift them over the doorsill moldings when entering your corvette.
6. Never let any gas station attendant clean your windows, check your oil, or put gas in your vette.
7. Always park your corvette away from any other cars in a lot or take up at least two parking places.
8. Never let anyone else drive your vette, even if it's to move it a few feet.
9. Always take your corvette to a reputable shop to have any work done or do it yourself if you can.
10. Never let another vette pass without a wave of acknowledgement, for you both know that you are driving the most unique automobile ever built anywhere.

 

Thou shalt shirk all responsibilities and blow all thine dough on mods

 

Keep the vette away from any dealership.

 

My wife would view you as a very bad influence on me... that is why I'll blame all mod $$$ spent on you

One more to add to the list... anytime you have a chance to preach the Corvette lifestyle to someone (particularly ricers) take the time to do so, don't just turn up your nose in disgust.

 

 

I am just starting to do that and the ricers say sh*t like, its a gas guzzler, Your Honda econobox will do the same when you mash the pedal everywhere!! Also, I have heard, You betrayed us! What happened to the CRX?? I tell them I sold it for $16K, and laugh in their face. Then I'd hear, American cars are unreliable! A. Thats because there are more of them in the US. B. They are usually poorly maintained from neglect and ignorance. Yeah, your Honduh is also unreliable especially when you "mod" it up with your 100 shot of NAWZSSS, by messing with adustable cam gears and snapping timing belts (cylinder head, valve, piston damage),and break axles and weak a$$ FWD trannies. Plus your Honda stinks because it farts a lot with that 5 inch exhaust, and wears tires because of negative camber; you (ricer) "want" to handle and corner better than an also coveted "Type R"

:sorry for hijacking your thread

 

WOW,

I like the whole list of items. I have always waved when I rode my bike and it looks like I will be continuing the wave with the 94 White Coupe.

Thanks,

Rick

 

not every1 adheres 2 the commandments...especially #10..

 

thou shalt not dupe

 

Thou shalt forever be on the lookout for the perfect calendar background.

 

Thou shall get as many Hooters babes to pose on the hood as possible

 

Thanks - I enjolyed that.

 

Due to possible breathing problems under rapid acceleration by the Corvette, thou shall require all female passangers for their saftey to remove bra's and any tight fitting or constrictvie clothing

(Got that off a warning label they were selling for the Corvettes)

 

Thou shall not weareth golf shoes while entering or driving the Corvette

 

I own a Honda ricer, Chevy Lowrider, and two C4 Vettes. So I fit no stereotype. All attached genres own thier own fun attributes. Doesnt mean im going to put tripple gold Daytons on my vette. Ive had friends that were die hard gearheads, who I let ride in my Nova with Hydraulics on it, and after hopping down the streets, slamming the frame on the ground, and jerkn' the car side to side, He had to get his grin surgically removed. Its all about whats fun, ISNT IT?

Dont knock everyone. Then you're just as bad as everyone else. If everyone had the same ride, we'd be all bored.


as far as the commandments, can we put amendments to it ?

snoopdan

 

..Thou shall NOT curse at your Vette, even when you smash your thumb with a hammer like I did when I was removing a pushpin from light assembly. I broke this commandment that day, but my back was turned to the car when I yelled "who in the F%#k at GM invented this mecanical nightmare, and what were they thinking" !!!!!

 

"Thou shalt, at the appropriate time and place, operate thine Corvette in a manner in which others may assume thou art exerting unauthorized control over it"

 

if this is true I'm going to corvette hell I swear at my vette all the time. especially when you have to spend $1300 on an electrical prob

 

is this enough?

 

A few that I've learned so far:

Thou shall remember the most importaint tools; a chair, a hammer, and a block of wood.
When thy vette pisses thee off, sit in thy chair, grab thy hammer and beat the block of wood to death.

Remember that when thy Vette pisses thee off, that thou should tell thy Vette that it CAN spend the rest of it's days at pick-your-part if it doesn't begin behaving!

Clean and load not thy guns before working on thy Vette, else thee might be tempted to add extra holes in places where holes belong not...

Remember that "sit down, strap in, hold on, shut up" does not just pertain to the passenger
