I have noticed through the years on the forum there is more interest in "Bashing" and the "Mine is Bigger and Better than Yours". There are a lot of good and informative posts but it seems to me the negative posts out weigh the positive. IMHO

That one brave individualist certainly he got his point across, whatever that may be. And I'll bet you'll never, ever forget that car.
Carry a disposable camera for those unexpected shots -- http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/ELPH/ELPH.html
Small enough to fit in the center console. Ok, no excuses for next time you see him.

So..... You admit you didn't wave?

Since CF allows discussion of not just performance mods, but also body mods, and also pure appearance mods, I think we all (myself included) are just going to need to take a healthy swallow and hold our bile when we see something we would not necessarily do ourselves. They may be the cousin we would prefer not to talk about, but they are still family. It sure is hard sometimes…
All of these are corvettes (and one came from the Bowling Green factory this way!):

However, I am curious, what do you get when you cross an El Camino with a Corvette? Is that an El Corvetto? An El Camorvette? An El Caminovette? A Corvetteino? Hmmmm....
He probably had Z51 stickers on the side of his car.
I bet this guy thought it was really kewl
My first thought was, "Those poor cars." Can you imagine how embarrassed they must be?
Ever thought what He or She might be thinking about you, or your car?
Now, now--play nice....

Will the camera 'melt' in the console? Mine gets really hot--good idea though, may have to just try the disposable one first and check it out.
Nope, I did wave, and in fact, I actually got to see myself wave with the reflection in his glasses and all--no wave back from him though--he was way to kewl for that!
Thanks! Some of those are really nice--I like the white nose/checkered flag going into body color in the rear, and the yellow one with the checkered flag coming out of the fender vents. I'm all for 'different' and I'm all for expressing originality...I don't think spinners look good on ANY car and on a Corvette they just looked downright stupid--the sunglasses were the icing on the cake!

Uh oh...don't go there!
No dobubt in my mind!
Just like he obviously didn't care what I thought of his car, I don't care what he thinks of mine. I'm not trying to be 'mean spririted' in anyway...I just thought it was funny and wanted to share. Chrome spinners and Chrome sunglasses? C'mon now, THAT'S FUNNY!
Now, now--play nice....

Is this all fiction?

NO WAY! It is NOT fiction!!! Honestly, I couldn't have made that up--I'm not that creative!
I'm thinking if he had enough $$$$ for the spinners, he had enough $$$ for the top---
I'm going to put one of those disposable digital cameras in the car for next time....I'll get him one of these days, I'm on the look out now!!
