And GM has released this vehicle to the public:shocked: .....have they no shame!
Thanks for the pointing these things out Scissors. We should start a fund to purchase these vehicles from unsuspecting victims...or at least offer to take them off their hands by storing and driving said vehicles to spare the victims the anguish of having to do it themselves.

3. Steering wheel. It's round. WTF! I believe it's been proven over and over again that handle bars are far easier to keep a hold of than a wheel, from which your hands could potentially slip.
4. V8. How am I supposed to get that bumble-bee sound which makes me look cool in front of the import guys with a V8? Why not something cool like an I-4? Or a V3, for that matter?
5. No wire hangers!
6. Non-metal body panels. How am I supposed to acquire dents over time in parking lots? These dents act like the dimples on a golf ball and reduce my coefficient of drag, thus increasing my top speed performance. With non-dentable panels I don't get this benefit
7. Exotic looks. Great! Now the police will notice me everywhere I go.
8. No back seat. So much for comfortable sex.

Tell me then I 'm curious if you have an EVO why would you want a Corvette? Those are two totally different approaches of a high performance vehicle?

I would not suggest buying the 2006 that is just not enough time.. I am going to wait until until 2010. In 2010 the price will have dropped because of the pending introduction of the new C7 and my Medicare will have kicked in. You just know that the new C7 will be butt FUGLY compared to the car that my papy used to drive.

...and those f**ktards at GM didn't even give me a Dukes-of-Hazard-style horn on the C6. How in the f**k am I supposed to maintain the Corvette's image with this euro "beep beep" horn? F**kers.

Scissors,
You forgot one:
