This is still going? Me and the neighbor already drank the 12 pack, jumped in the Vette and tore through town at WOT. I did burnouts and donuts at every intersection then we went back and drank some more. Good times!



I'm kidding. Lighten up folks, It wasn't as dangerous (extreme) or harmless (extreme) as some are thinking. I must admit, I'm having some good with many of the replies.

I think most of these responses prove that most vette owners are 70 years old. No need to be a jerk revving and tearing a $$ every time you leave the garage, but I don't think that was your story.

LMAO You are So Wrong

This thread has been entertaining to say the least. Went from loud exhaust to political views. Wow some of y'all are really in your feels

v8srfun

that is because political views are part of your decision making process. Democrats are against cars like corvettes on many fronts from pollution to freedom and safety. The democratic thought process is so stupid they would label the corvette as unsafe for the streets if they could because it can go fast. Look at how many freedoms we have lost because democrats were afraid of something or didn't feel safe about something that was not a problem in the first place. This is not a safe space in a college campus where you can cry about your fears and pet a dog to make you feel better. Grow up and become a man life is not easy but that is the way it is. Trump is in my opinion the greatest president we have ever had because he calls it how it is and doesn't put up with the politically correct bs.

So this is how you describe Corvette owners? Why are you a member on this site? Just to make trouble? Shouldn't you be on some Prius website on your soap box talking down the Sports cars and Muscle cars and the people who own them that you have never met and how the auto industry and aftermarket auto industry is evil blah blah blah... Most car people are the best people you could ever meet, successful, family men and women, "do it your selfers" with a common passion who enjoy life and would give you the shirt off your back. This is a great hobby and passion and something that we need to continue to pass along to future generations to keep them grounded, teach them a work ethic and how to use tools, understand mechanics and to be able to repair and create things with their hands rather than using their hands to text and type on their iphones for hours on end in some social media website. Or wasting thier time wathching reality TV while eating junk food.

Your opinion is that Corvette owners are a bunch of 70+ year olds breaking the law with our cars revving our engines and tearing around the streets speeding every chance. I am no where near 70. Go back to whever you came from. Guess what noob, I have never been issued a speeding ticket in my 40 years of driving let alone any type of driving violation and I have owned and have been driving Corvettes for 39 years.

My point is that people are acting like the guy was guzzling beers and doing 150 through a school zone. He wasn't . Sounds like he maybe approached speeds that would not even get you pulled over and enjoyed the sound of his American v8. The fake outrage in this country is ridiculous. You make so many assumptions about me when it is you who are perpetrating the myth of old stuffy guys going 25 mph on the interstate in their vette. So go find your button down Hawaiian shirt, button the bottom two buttons only, put on all of your gold nugget jewelry from the 80s, and make the myth a reality buddy. It is the people like you who drive the prius. Butthurt liberals who become enraged at freely spoken comments on the internet. Those who can't see a little humor in stereotypes.

I do agree with your comment: "My point is that people are acting like the guy was guzzling beers and doing 150 through a school zone. He wasn't . Sounds like he maybe approached speeds that would not even get you pulled over and enjoyed the sound of his American v8. The fake outrage in this country is ridiculous."

Neither of your comments appear to be sarcasm to me. If they are then sorry if I overreated, seems to be the theme of this thread.
I voted for President Donald J. Trump. Never been a lib.
I do not and have never owned a Hawaiian shirt and the only jewelry I own or wear is my wedding ring and a chain with a gold cross from my God Mother that she gave me for my Baptism accompanied by half a heart from my wife for our engagement. I don't even wear a watch. As I stated, I have owned Corvettes for 39 years of 40 years driving and an assortment American Muscle cars as well. You are stereotyping again, just like you did in your previous post, and not in a sacrastic way, (that I can tell), either time.

How do you get from my words that I am "perpetrating the myth of old stuffy guys going 25 mph on the interstate" out of what I said??

The sound (even loud) of a Vette of any stripe, or a Harley, or a Radial airplane engine always brings a smile to my face. It's the punks in the buzz-bomb rice rockets who consider themselves to be drift car racers that really grind my gears. Just be considerate of others, don't drive like an idiot, but sometimes you just gotta let 'er eat. ;-)

Aerovette

I voted for Trump
I am a Republican
I am a Conservative
I have owned several Corvettes and drove them hard
I hate all Priuses
I love smokey burnouts
I love rock music (20 years in a band)
I don't need a safe place
I hate snowflakes, pink hats, vagina suits, Ashley Judd, Rosie O'Donnell et al.
I don't believe man caused any climate change

And still think people need to be considerate of their neighbors and keep the noise down.

I'm sorry to wreck your theory about the typical complainer.

Uncle Remus

Sounds like this has been a huge misunderstanding since your first reply to me. I am a lifelong lover of of everything corvette or muscle or American for that matter. I was being tongue in cheek about the typical corvette owner stereotypes.

Mike98SilVert

Sounds like a misunderstanding to me as well.
Welcome to the Forum and congrats on your Pewter C5

I am surprised he would be that upset with stock manifolds and with stock cats that should not bother anyone.

Nyt_Muves

I completely agree. I would add that in my experience gun people are like that too. Salt of the earth hard working people who earned what they have and are generous to a fault and the first to lend a hand.

Democrats are generous too. Unfortunately they are generous with other people's stuff not so much their own.

Mike98SilVert

100%

Unfortunately this is true.

Black 02

Lots of inconsiderate people appear to own C5 Corvettes judging from this thread

Dave concrete

Jeez Mike thought your head was going to explode

I thought this was the general section..... not the PRC section
