Never seen that before. However, I guess it's better than a roof rack or trying to cram the bike in the rear hatch. If it's his daily driver, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Doesn't really bother me. It's probably his only car and he had a problem so he solved it.

Really don't see anything wrong with that. Doesn't hurt the car to carry such a light load on a bike hitch.
Have seen personal watercraft, small trailers, etc being towed by a Corvette.

I don't see a problem here..The guy probably likes to mountain bike and the only place to go requires he drive his bike there, and the C5 is his only motorized vehicle. This is no worse than someone here thinking it is ok to take a picture of his car in front of the donut shop where he is having his lunch.
Read slower, you will get it sooner or later

I don't understand how something like that, which does not affect them, would bother someone.

At least the owner is concerned about fitness on some level and I've seen mods that may vettes look a lot worse than that.
