The 1 inch deep cupholder. Drinks get spilled all the time. Adding extra ones detract from the look of the interior. CLB is a PIA!
Drinking in the vette is a sin. I wish there weren't any cup holders in the car.

I also hate how I keep modding the damn thing.

Its one thing to dream of having her, when you didn't have her..., Now that you have her... you complain? ... You take her out on dates and all she ask for is some high octane and tenderness when you take those sharp turns.. she keeps you level and balance and brings you home safe and sound....

When you are done for the night and pulling into the drive way give her a big hug.. pat her on the steering wheel, tell her "job well done", and that you cant wait to see her tomorrow.

Love her --- Appreciate her, but don't diss her.

Remember this, shes always listening...
Someone drank the koolaid...

I hate that I don't have the $$ to mod...
...loved it stock for over a year. love it more now!!

I waited 30 years between my first Vette and my second ! (kids, college payments, etc.)

Although whinners (sp?) about minor things are getting me down, BEST BANG FOR BUCK CAR THERE IS !

The only thing I don't like is the speed of the Car matches the speed at which it is depreciating!

Red reflectors in doors should be actual lights. Poor vision quality rear glass. Can't "blip" the throttle when shifting gears. Rotors rust like none other I've ever owned. Stock shifter sux.
All the above but I love the car.
