Yep, but that would still be better than, "Is the C4 Really A Corvette?" thread.

A lof good things come out of the C4 generation.

1. Reverse flow heads.
2. 6-speed with 2 overdrive gears.
3. Fuel Injection that works.
4. Opti spark (yes, its touchy but it paved the way for the current set up).
5. Corvettes could actually take corners.
6. 150+ mph in the mid 80s.

Give me a C4 with a 6-speed, a 4.8 out of a truck, and a turbo and watch the hell out!

This proper etiquette / rules thread for the Corvette wave got me thinking about several of the other questions I ponder while contemplating the silent freeways. Questions like:
1. How come you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead?
2. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why's it still #2?
3. Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM?
4. Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
5. Where are Preparations A through G?
6. Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car, he sticks his head out the window!
7. Do pigs pull ham strings?
8. What hair color do they put on the driver's license of a bald man?
9. If quizzes are quizzical then what are tests?
10. Is there a Dr. Salt?
11. Why don't you ever see baby pigeons?

Why do we use the expression "Hot Water Heater"?

If the water was hot, we wouldn't have to heat it. It should be called a cold water heater, or just a "Water Heater".

If the plural of mouse is mice, then more than one blouse should be blice.

Man, has this thread turned stupid.

I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh?

So do I!

If the plural of Goose is Geese, why isn't more than one Moose, Meese?


One foot, several feet...

So why isn't the plural of boot, beet?

This is why I'm always in a state of confusion, which I think borders on Washington, DC.

I got arrested for speeding and taken to jail, I got dizzy and sued them for damages... they put me in a round room and told me to sit in the corner....

Why do you park in the driveway and drive on the parkway? What's that all about?
