When justifying the purchase of a Corvette, I usually offer this:
"When you're dead, you're dead for a long time"

When discussing the value of a C5, I always say:
"It's a 100,000 dollar American sports car with a 50,000 dollar price tag."

When asked How I drive My Vette?....”I bring it home with it’s tongue hanging out” or “I drive it like it owes me money”
