I wouldn't have known where the engine was if it wasn't for that sign.

They had the words "mid-engine" cut out and lit.

I'm about to get "non-pupup" engraved in my C6 headlights!

Ohhhh! Or we could put "hydroformed" on all the C5 frames

Guess it's like when ponciac put "ABS" on their wheels

Also, AmericanCarCraft? Like the magazine or just a pos-it/dartboard name?

SO TACKY. Especially the mid-engine sign.

Reminds me of the SUVs in the 90s that would have stickers bragging about "4x4".

Let me take a different tact... and, thank you for the post and pix. I'm not a fan, but I can appreciate that there genuinely ARE all kinds and some will love it. Nothing wrong with that; really, wouldn't it be a b***h if we all loved the same woman?

Yeah, boomers are such ******** that we call things the way we see them. We don't join hands and sing kum ba yah, we just see a turd with sugar poured over it and say it's a turd, not a gumdrop.
