Do you say "Corvette" or "Vette"?
Newbie here, but not new to Corvettes. I've owned four but just recently purchased a low mileage 01 vert, pewter, oak/oak. But hey, on the threat subject, I've always thought the term "Vette" was rather high schoolish, so I have always refered to my car as what it is, a Corvette. Any thoughts on that?

I use Vette more often. For the non-converted it just sounds more casual and less pompous. Some one asks me on a Monday morning, "so what did you do on the weekend" I say, "my wife and I took the vette down to Niagars Falls for a spin and ended up staying for dinner" Now insert "corvette" into that sentance and it sounds a little more formal...but thats JMHO
