Default Corvette Quote

I was watching NBC nightly news talking about the corvette museum sinkhole and heard a guy they interviewed say

"If you're having a bad day, you go get in your car and it will go away"

I find that to be very true.
Anybody else have a good Corvette quotes?

The one that prompted me to buy:

"If you've wanted a Corvette since you were a kid . . . .you've waited long enough !"

Heck yeah !

I saw that segment too and I have to wonder.....wow, is Brian a 'Vette guy too?!?!?!?!

The segment was great and you know that all of the "someday" dreamers like we all used to be, however many years ago, loved it and probably have a renewed interest in making "someday" happen ASAP!!

I was going to pick up takeout and asked my 9 year old daughter if she wanted to go. She asked if I was taking the vette and I said no. Then she said "Meh, I'll stay home"

Not sure it qualifies as a vette qoute but it was funny.

"The 'Vette, makes them wet"

I think that's referring to people drooling when looking at the car

I saw that too, and agree wholeheartedly. I consider rides in my Vette to be therapeutic. And, thus, the cost of the Vette is well justified.

Nothing gets rid of a cloudy work mood like putting the top down and cutting through some curves on the way home

Jay Leno said some guys spend that much on money on therapy
And guys who have corvettes don't need therapy.

After getting my C5 tuned at Carlisle, Doug's advice was "just enjoy and keep it sunny side up".
