My new Corvette is environmentally friendly........as it is rarely driven, will receive proper maintenance and gets rather good fuel economy when driven prudently.

And, I thank the Earth for providing me refined fossil fuel to power my supercharger.

applies to my not-so-new (2010) Corvette as well !

It's the same way on my C5. I try and do my part for the environment but I'm not a tree hugger by any means.

I shifted into 7th for about 20 seconds on the drive home as my way of celebrating Earth Day.

yay Earth!

Just got an email from my Congresswomen that said "Most importantly, it is about safeguarding our world and natural heritage that our children and future generations will inherit by stopping and reversing the effects of climate change."

How would reversing climate change be done? A giant sun shade? The earth has been warming for 14,000 years.

Here in Virginia it rained most of the day so I couldn't celebrate. Maybe next Saturday I'll cut down a tree.

No one can tell me my Corvette isn't green.

Perfect timing, 'cause tomorrow is Sunday.

Pretty much the response that's expected from a largely blue collar crowd.

Just curious, but what makes you say that? Any statistical basis?

We had a wind storm last night. I celebrated Earth Day by burning all the mess with a big smoky fire. Hours of thick black smoke. Lots of wet green fuel to get rid of. And yes it is still legal here.

This for one...

"With a base price of about $52,000, the Corvette isn’t going to end up in the garages of very many twentysomethings. What GM hopes to do is broaden the appeal of the car beyond the blue-collar, middle-America demographic that forms the Corvette’s core fan base."

Quoting an article from three years ago saying the average Corvette owner is "Blue Collar" doesn't make it so.

It would be interesting to see what the average C7 owner does for a living, or if retired, what they did for a living, if you want to start a poll.

^^^ And let's not forget the most important metric -- education level including advanced degrees.
