I'm a car guy and never even noticed the differences until I owned one. I knew there were packages and options, but to me it was basically ZR1 and then all the other Corvettes.

Any Corvette was/is cool to me.

It's weird that guys bicker over this stuff.

Esp the guys over at Hammy's GS Bar.

Us basers are treated like the second class citizens we are.
All in fun of course.

Don't sweat the small stuff....

Anyone who puts someone else down over the kind of car they have, clothes they wear, or job they have, are the ones with the real problem. Just be glad you're not one of them.

Tint the windows, don"t roll them down, They can"t see you so well. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands out on the wheel. Turn the radio up and point to your ears, if they are talking to loud.

Going from a base to a GS didn't give me a big head like others. Same car, wider body, that's it. Although I have to admit, the wide body sure looks soooooo much better. oops, sorry.

The model doesn't matter. All Corvette owners still have one thing in common with each other. We all have teeny weenies. Some just have tinier ones than others.

Um, I'm a proud corvette parent. It's a GS but does not make me look down my nose at any corvette or parent. I appreciate all people and their corvettes. No matter the model.

I was snubbed by a young guy in a C7 last night. I waved, he looked at me, looked away. Driving in his convertible, dark sunglasses, too cool for the room.

Unless you have the F55 model, which is superior.

They probably just got snubbed by a Lambo or a Ferrari. Always something better out there. If you let it bother you it will.

Have fun with who and what you have, life is short.
