A chrome Vette is just a bit over the top for me, I wonder what the sun does when it reflects off of it?

Funny thing about that is you'll think everyone's checking out your car when they're actually just checking their hair in your big mirror of a vehicle. That said, the c6 pic looks like it would be better if it were just all chrome and remove the design. The Tesla doesn't look good to me in that pic maybe it looks better in person.

I like chrome on a car, but that is just a bit much for me.
