Well I care more about making 600+rwhp and having fun over what gas mileage I'm getting. Screw miles per gallon, a Corvette is about smiles per gallon. It's my toy not a damn prius. And I consider myself somewhat intelligent since I am a power generation engineer but who knows maybe they hand those degrees out to everyone. Stupid people make comments like yours.

LOL. That is really dumb. What is a peple?
I retired comfortably at 55 and I didn't get here by wasting money. Rich people don't act like you. If you were rich you wouldn't have a cheapo C5. You would have a Porsche.

Whatever floats your boat.
If you guys want to drive around in 3rd gear you should probably learn how to drive a stick shift.

Glad I puzzled you with my typo. It was a kind of a head scratcher to figure out.

A. Please tell me how rich people act?
B. You have no clue about the state of my wallet, or my C5.

"If you were rich you wouldn't have a cheapo C5." You chastize me and write that? That statement is chock full of stupid.

Loose your sign?

You're worried enough about it that you're giving me and everyone else a ration of s**t over how they drive their own cars.

Ah, I see. You're the only smart one here. Everyone else is an idiot.
