A vette just makes it even worse,,,the power just makes it THAT much easier to get in even worse trouble!! We had one in our area about a year ago where a driver with prior DUI's was in a new C6 that he had just bought a day or two prior. Drunk out of his gourde,, flying down a two lane highway. He rear ended a car so hard that he knocked it into the oncoming lane and it struck an oncoming car head on,,,killing a pregnant teacher and her husband!! And some people wonder why DUI cases are drawing such harsh penalties!!

Speaking of this subject, have you seen the recent DUI advertisement? They use a young kid, drinking and partying then hops in a Corvette and spins out and crashes.
I wasn't too happy about that, it implies Corvettes people are drunk drivers.
They shouldn't display any brand or recognition to any vehicle in these ads. It's not the car that drinks and drives, it's the driver. I wish Chevy would go after them.
