Our club made the trip to Maggie Valley for "Vettes in the Valley" show this past weekend. On one of our many P breaks at a McDonalds all 11 vettes rolled in and parked. As we came in I overheard a conversation that went like this. Kid: I like all of them. Grownup: I wouldn't trade my Camry for any of em. Ain't nothin' but gas hogs anyway.
We all laughed to ourselves when we pulled back out and proceeded to lay down some MPGs of roughly 31. I'm betting thats real close to his gas hog Camry.

People always look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them what gas mileage my C5 gets. I call it my economy car.

Yep, I can't believe how amazing these cars are (overall)...
The HP is incredible, the ride is amazing, and best of all.....I can still get about 26 MPG in-town.
I have a mini-van that can't beat that! Too bad my vette doesn't seat 5...

ROFLOL! Give the guy a break. The translation of, "I wouldn't trade my Camry for any of em. Ain't nothin' but gas hogs anyway" is, "I've got three kids to put though college. I can't afford one and they don't seat five anyway...but I'd give my left nut to be able to have one."
