While we were there we witnessed these two wonderful little girls ,4 or 5 yrs.old running all around the floor and guess which hood they decided to climb up on??WE WERE SPEECHLESS The two founders of this gene pool just sat there like they were climbing on a sofa .Thank God I am getting mine from a different dealer and it will never be on display......

Typical Chevy dealer. Corvette has outclassed Chevy. It needs to move to Caddilac but that will be a cold day in hell.

Typical dealer?? I say typical parents. Why is it that parents don't feel the need to keep their kids in line these days? How many times have you been in the supermarket and there is some kid out of control?

The parents should have stopped that crap! I worked for Kroger for 11 years and you wouldn't beleive !

It's a shame, but that goes on at most dealerships. The salesmen don't want to **** off the "potential" customers. That is why people are upset about the Courtesy Delivery nightmare thread here. I cringe when I think about the fact that I bought my C5 off of the showroom floor. But I was smitten. The next one will be ordered and not touched.

First I would have beat the kids, then I would have beat the parents!

There's nothing wrong with tanning a kids backside when they do something wrong. I'm 33 and got many beatdowns from my parents when I acted up, it didn't matter where we were, or who it was in front of.

But I respect people, their property, and I don't do drugs.

I think a Taser gun would have worked nicely!

Unfortunately, with all our liberal laws now days, the parent would probably be charged with abuse if they did anything to the brats.

And 10-12 years from now, when those parents are having all kinds of problems with those 2, they'll be wondering where it came from.

Except a stun gun would be better as it is more compact and you can deliver 500,000 volts to the little brat and the parents too. I'm glad I don't have kids/brats. Some people clearly should not have kids because they are irresponsible themselves. Bad parents = bad kids. Like don't blame and ban the guns, the pitbulls, the dogs, it all goes back to the parent who is suppose to be responsible. It is not the instrument but the behavior and the individual behind it using the instrument. We could ban all alcohol as far as drunk drivers go that would be the same idea of what has been happening with banning dogs, guns, whatever the little monster f*c*e* up. They need to hold the individual responsible and or parents and not everyone else. I don't bow to people just because they have kids or a baby carrier because they have the attitude that you should give them sympathy or the right of way. I already pay them $$$ through my tax dollars We need to ban parents They made the mistake of having kids we didn't and therefore shouldn't be penalized for that. Ditto for welfare your tax dollars at work here in the State of Chaos we have all of these low lifes with tons of kids reproducing themselves not being responsible and living off our heart earned tax dollars $$$. Not everyone should have kids because they had an accident/accidents. We keep this up and they will put speed limiters in our corvettes. Yes I can see it now Ban Corvettes because they get stolen or because some idiot stole one and killed themself ..that is the kind of mentality we have today AND ARE HEADED THAT WAY which is so stupid. We need to go after the individual who is responsible for this behind the instrument who should be held responsible for their behavior and in most cases the parents who were irresponsible to begin with. Everybody else should not be penalize for somebody else's mistakes. I can see it now kid get run over by car because Idiot parent didn't control or supervise their brat so lets just take it out on the cars, guns, dogs but give the parent/brat sympathy. Nope not under my government You have the brat you pay $$ and more because you are using up more resources unlike the single person who ends up footing your bill..besides we have a population problem and becoming that much closer to a third world like country ..Let 's put it this way too many fish in the tank = quality of life goes down resources used up and furthermore like most third world poor countries are overpopulated so which way do you think we are headed?

I am an elementary school teacher and you should try to discipline a classroom of 30 of them! No parental discipline at home carries over to school!

That is why I am waiting for my C6 to get here..........It helps give me something to do to get my mind off of school on the weekends.

Actually, the parents will blame society. I'm tired of people not accepting responsibility for their behavior.

My dealer Champion Chevrolet in Reno really took care of me, the salesman told a guy to get out of my car after he jumped in and started pushing buttons etc. The guy was some rich kid whose dad owns a construction company. The guy got pissed and called the the salesman a pri_k, and the salesman got in his face and said " No, you are being a pri_k" and was ready for a brawl. Then the salesman did the smart thing and walked away. The guy called later and apologized.
