Default Years ahead?!

It seems GM/Corvette has “caught up” (to me) with their C7 Corvette Motorsports Design accessory wheels:

Looks to me like they are still behind the times. Don't you know this is what every C6/C7 owner really wants to have?

Perhaps an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would prohibit such perverse activity, under penalty of death!
Yeah, that would be reasonable.

While serving this Great Nation, during a time of war. There were men who I trusted with my life; As they could trust theirs with myself. (I never laid down my weapon or ran) Some of those men were African Americans. Clowns are clowns, regardless of the color. There are plenty of "White" punks wandering around trying to act cool/stupid...
My post was probably in poor taste. It was meant in a humorous vein not malicious.Though I too think those pics look ridiculous but that does not make those that do like them less than me and their lifestyle should not be brought into it. I know Hameister was joking obviously but some aren't. I'm an old white guy if that even matters to anyone. Enjoy today everyone. Peace.

I believe it is a reference from the movie Gran Torino. I saw the movie numerous time and loved it. Clint Eastwood in the movie made this statement to some punks. I hope I am right

Well, kinda. It's more just a general characterization of every grouchy, bitter old man that I have come across in my life who had no tolerance, understanding , respect, or compassion for anyone other than those that look/think/act just like him... You know, the old man who chased us all off his yard when we were kids playing hide and seek...

Stop stereotyping your average Corvette owner will ya? We're not all alike!



On a more positive note, thanks to the mods for removing the trash off this thread.
