Jim Rome "is" corvette guy with a little more money. Look at the guy in the black corvette in the utube clip, if Rome had sunglasses on they would be twins. He is exactly what he describes and he bought that particular Mercedes so he could be a notch above corvette guy. If he wasn't worried about being "better" than corvette guy he would have bought a nice big Mercedes or Bentley....He chose to buy the fastest car he could find ( for the money). He dreams of guy's in corvettes pulling up next to him, taunting him to race but he never will. One reason is because he's a ***** and is he's afraid to actually go fast, and the other is because he has nothing to gain and everything to loose. If he wins a race with a 50k corvette he can't get too much satisfaction knowing his 300K car just beat a 50k car. And if he does by chance come up against a heavily modded vette that does eat him alive....his "pen-us" would probably shrink even smaller than it currently is. I loved the fact that he had to call the poor guy that sold him the car to get reassurance that if in fact he did actually have a set of stones, and would have chosen to run with the guy, he would have probably beaten him.....Who does that? Honestly, can you imagine how that phone call went? The salesman was probably thinking, " dude, you just bought a 300k European performance car and you're afraid to depress the gas pedal"? "? The poor man is so afraid, he's afraid of corvette guy, work out guy, hand shake guy, golf guy, all of them really, that's why he blabs about them. He's a classic case of a kid that was bullied in school and now is seeking his revenge.

 

This guy is a large @#%$ with a large ego and mommy issues.

 

His show is one that you will not like if you only listen to it once....you have to give it a couple of tries and it grows on you......as for his " guy" material i would say its more true than not true...he speaks at stereotypes and does a kind of Jerry Seinfeld type routine with his own spin at the obvious....but we all know the guys he is talking about. In no way is he suggesting everybody is that guy, he makes it very clear in all his skits because he doesnt want to lose his audience, but his stereotypes are pretty close and damn funny if you have every dealt with that " guy".

 

I drive on the 101 all the time and find that the "Fairly high profile european vehicles" are driven by people with their head up their azz.
I listened to about 2 minutes of this and that was enough.............

 

Sounds like a lot us about Mustang and others who challenge us on a consistent basis. Funny.

 

Jim and his "high profile European .......... " give me a break. He is just jealous he paid big, big bucks for a fancy car and we drive a chevrolet that provides much more bang for the buck 30 mpg on the highway with a top speed of 186 mph

 

 

First of all, who the hell is Jim Rome? I bought our C6 for both my wife and I to drive, but after about two weeks of drooling idiots challenging her to stoplight races, revving their motors and cutting her off... and other ***-antics, she refuses to drive it anymore. "Corvette Guy" drives a lot of cars and even Corvette owners are victims of their stupidity.

 

He's attracted to himself?

He makes fun of all these "guys", why doesn't he make fun of the "I never had any athletic ability, so now I'm a sports obsessed journalist and I think my opinion matters guy".

By the way, Mr Big Shot Rome, I could buy a Mercedes AMG V12 for less than $10,000.

I've always hated that little twit.

 

They are both jerks! The radio personality and the "vette guy". It's wrong to to put anyone in any catigory based on what they drive! I know jerks that drive chevettes and corvettes as well as other cars! I never did like his show anyways, but now I will make sure I don't watch it! Besides, if you have enough money, you can always buy a faster car than the guy next door, it does not make you a better man!

 

 

maybe jay leno or colin powell will contact him about being a corvette owner.

i could never understand from day one why he had any fans....
he and his show are so lame.
"what's with that?----i wonder the same thing.

 

Wow I didn't know "Corvette Guys" throw "Corvette signs" at each other.

He really must have been punked by the corvette guy that he can't stop fuming. What an idiot? BTW no one really cares about his European high profile car because there are about a thousand of them on the L.A. freeways at any given time and one more European high profile in my garage that will blow his v12's doors off.

 

As many times as he said "high profile European V12 car", I can tell some sales guy really stuck it to him.

 

This is a high profile european vihicle:

 

I drive a high profile car.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.
I drive a fairly high profile car.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.
I drive a fairly high profile European car.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.
I drive a fairly high profile European car.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.
I've got 604hp V12 with carbon fiber under the hood.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.
I drive a fairly high profile European car.
*jibber jabber* Corvette Guy *jibber jabber*
I have a job.

What he's really trying to say is:
I'm better than you because I paid a lot more money for my car than you did yours, and I have a job, and I'm going to call you out because your car is a crappy American car that only people with gold chains and smelly cologne drive.

This guy is a moron

 

is this guy serious? how does this guy get "a job" that allows him to bitch about this kind of stuff, what a retard...

he and "mancow" annoy the crap out of me

Miles

 

 

I know what you mean !!



Exactly ! I think we all got a kick out of his fixation with the "pen us" !

 

Sounds like he lives an uptight, stressful life if he's able to rant for 10 minutes about such trivial things.

Apparently, he bought a 600hp Mercedes to feel superior to everyone else on the road. I guess being able to look down on and rant about inferior Corvette owners is what he needs to justify his high-profile European purchase.

With that said, nearly every Corvette owner here drives 5mph below the speed limit.
