Default Stripes?

With the C8 will we finally see the end of those awful stripes and hash marks which were all over the C7 generation?

About as much time it took to come up with the useless question in the first place. Where do people come up with this nonsense?

I like the hash marks on the grand sport.

I'm with sub driver. This forum is becoming frustrating. We need something new and real. Every day it is these useless threads about nothing, and Shaka being Shaka.

Sorry I triggered you. Get my post out of your head. And, take a long walk with your dog. (If you have a dog).

Awful to you & just perfect for others. I always say to each their own, so why should they end? They aren't my particular cup of tea but who cares how someone else decides to option out their Vette?

Perhaps plain old stripes or hash marks are too boring & you would prefer something like this. It was listed for sale on eBay last November at a used car dealership near Dallas:

So what if someone like stripes or chrome wheels? This thread is very disappointing and kind of provocative i think this forum must be more informative and friendly than this.

It didn't start with, and won't end with the C7 generation; you're welcome.

Lighten up Francis.

'To each his own' is how most know the saying. However, when it comes to - 'To each their own'
In this sentence, "their" is not used as a plural; it is used as a gender-neutral singular form. That is a perfectly acceptable usage.
I've seen/heard it used both ways. If you want to be a real grammar/PC dork about it then I guess you better start saying - To each his or her own.

No, stripes will remain on either an options list or a package list.

Yes this exactly I come to the forums for useful news, not useLESS threads such as this. I also use the forums to bring out ideas that get in my head and I need an opinion on.

I like the stripes on my 69Z, not so much on the vettes. My boss had a limited edition Ferrari blue with little tiny gold stripes, not for me but he liked them.... why be a turd to someone just asking a question?

What's wrong wtih black wheels? Do they offend you? Why? . Besides, black wheels help hide the brake dust! If theyre offered, they'll be a choice. I doubt theyll be the only one offered. Choice is good.

Who asked me? I thought your post thanking 89L98 - Thank you for not saying, 'to each THEIR own'! was referencing/taking a shot at my post above (# 7) where I said, "To each their own..." That's why I replied to you. I guess that wasn't the case.

BTW, I have no idea who Gildersleeve is. I assume you're referring to something way before my time.
