Don't ya love how....
most people you meet think because you have a "Vette" you are... well lets say...very well off.
I was at a party the other night and was talking to a woman who turned out to be a dentist. We were talking teeth lol and at one point she said to me.....you wouldn't want to spend the $ on an implant and you drive a "vette"? lol
I'm not doing bad but hey.....could always do better. and will always try to.

Let them think what they want. People just don't realize what a bargain a Corvette is.

I need them as well. My estimate was a lot more! My option is for them to pull the bottom teeth on both sides and put in a removable bridge like thing. Implants cost from two different dentist run $1,500 to $3,000 each! At any rate, yes people think you are rich if you have a vette. Mine is a 2004 that I bought last October and I got the smallest raise recently since I've been with the company. In a meeting last week his boss commented in front of everyone, that I must be rich, I drive a vette. I had to point out it was 4 years old and cost less then half of his new loaded upper end Lexus! He has a couple of houses, just bought a new boat (26'), jet ski, ... I don't have any of that! So now, I wonder would I have gottin a bigger raise if I did not buy the vette? It's my only car (daily driver)? People are funny, they don't want you to be doing as well as them.
