You want to see Corvettes that are victims of Bad Taste, any Corvette show will offer up plenty of examples.

I noticed the guy in your picture has red checkered pants too. I don't like the wheels at all. Odd taste.

You know the story on opinion - They are like noses (used appropriate body part to avoid getting a

from the mods) - everyone has one and everyone else's smells!

I admire the individual for making his car HIS.

Thanks for the interesting pics.

hey "blacksedan". If people don't give their opinions, there is little use for a forum. Did you like the picture posted by "sundevil"? It is OK, you give me your honest opinion.

He just seemed upset someone gave a negative opinion. I wondered if he liked the picture of the vette posted by sundevil.

I know what you mean. I think he was commenting not on an opinion, but on a gross generalization about a group. When you (not you in particular) start doing that this place gets ugly. You sound like a level headed guy

The Checkered pants was his wife who was actually driving on there highway trip. For all i know its her vette and I made the mistake of assuming a guy did this. Would a woman do this to her vette?
