Somehow if the car gets damaged by an accident that was unavoidable i can live with it, but if someone damages it on purpose or due to carelessness, it does drive me a little crazy. Like when I take it to a dealer and the mechanic does a great job but someone dings the door while they have it.

I've really enjoyed ALL my Corvettes - ALL bought new in cash. I didn't stretch to buy all of mine as many have done to buy there's. It's not life or death to me, as some /analfruitcakes make them out to be. Mine's just so pleasurable to own and drive. I'm glad I own one. As Tony Romo sez, "having one makes me a better person." #LOL!

nothing wrong with being an enthusiast or keeping it nice but to say, insist the only way to wash a lousy car is with 4 buckets..sorry man Id lmao if I saw that.


It IS just a car, take one completely apart. What is it? A skeleton, nuts and bolts. That will really put it in perspective;they arent rare collector cars, thats C1-2 stuff so pile the miles on.
They were made to be driven lots and driven hard, anyone keep thier wife in a bubble or do they turn that odometer over?

For some I honestly think a picture would be easier for them to own.

This is supposed to be fun.
Someone say C2 ?!
