Very classy idea.

One suggestion though...
Why don't you preserve the vette, and have it tattooed on your forehead instead?

Yeah, I remember being young, and stupid, too. At least he has the brains to drive a vette, instead of a riced up Civic.

hey hey .. is there something somebody would like to discuss about 18 year old's with a vette! ... huh!? HUH!? ...

but seriously ... if you do that I'm going to have to take a drive to where-ever-the-heck you live and kick your @ss.

...just a question ... green neons!? Wtf?!

... it doesn't say honda.

I don't care for bumper stickers on my vehicles, let alone the vette!!
But if you do put that sticker on your vette, any girl whose head you turn
to look at you and your vette, will look the other way after reading that!

So far bumper sticker, decal, aribrush, crayon, et al...
...it is a careless and immoral statement on any car or back alley fence...
...even at 18 I had some regard for what others considered in good taste or offensive...

Aspire to do what is good, right, and honorable...these are achievable by true men...

Nope. I don't have to admit that at all. And while I do appreciate this is just an attempt at humor - perhaps someday you will appreciate parenthood and that "mothers" are actually someone's mother, daughter, or wife and that your thought is just a crude, crass, and base remark. There is a "right" and a "wrong" out there and this one is just "wrong".

Didn't think so.

Plus, with all the younger guys we've lost to the ricer scene, I'm always impressed with one that drives a vette, whether he paid for it himself or not. Heck, he coulda' had his folks buy him a Honda.
Totally!! Not enough young guys buying Vette's. I hope it doesn't come back to bite GM in the azz. In twenty years to 30 years a lot of us won't be around to save the wave.

Yeah I remember my 18th birthday vividly. Lugging an M60 gun with leach's stuck to my jewels. Glad (honestly) that he is in a Vette. I just think the message is in poor taste now, and at that time in my life. It's his car, but he did ask for our opinion.

I agree with Patches on the part where most guys his age buy Fast and the Furious Hondas. At least he's driving a Corvette. But if you get lost and end up in my neck of the woods with that on the back of your car.... Some redneck is going to pull you out of your Vette and slam your head in the door about 20 times, then knife all of your tires. Don't put that sh*t on the back of your Corvette. Put it on your pickup or something else. Be proud to have the privelage to drive America's Sportscar. MHO - Enjoy your Corvette and the great feeling you get every time you take her out of the driveway.

You had better hope that everyone else has your sense of humor.

Sounds like an invitation to have your vette vandalized!

If you do it, maybe you could do it on a license plate frame, instead of On the car. Please?

- oops only 18 -->

Points taken, i guess it is too crude for what the Vette stands for. Scratch that off my list, now i can go back to dreaming about a Procharger.
And not to change the subject but it amazes me how little kids my age know about Corvettes, sadly i have been asked a lot if the car was front wheel drive. That is depressing.
And i guess i could have got a riced out civic, but then i would be like every other kid out there on the road. Plus the Vette is incredible, and i love it more every time i take it out for a cruise.
