BL, you beat me to the ditto comment regarding the complaints about the Vette's interiors, I don't think they are THAT bad. For all the Vette haters, go out and drive one. Even the base car has 430 hp and handles pretty dang well....my 2 cents.

I just find it to be so hiliarous that every other week someone will make a thread in the forum about Vettes. No Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lotuses. NoooooOOOOooo, I want a Vette!!! :dance:

Week after that, someone will make a thread about they're so worried their engine will blow up.

Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.

I propose to Brucelee that every week we should have IMS Tuesdays, RMS Wednesdays and Vette Thursdays. Just to organize things a bit ya know. :dance:

If someone is looking for a toy / performance / sports type of car used Corvettes and used Boxsters are priced closely to eachother, thus the posts. Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lotuses are simply in another league. For me what gets old are the cliche comments about Corvette owners (grey hair, balding, gold chain wearing, redneck, etc.) and the regurgitation of what some rag wonk had to say about the lack of suppleness on the C6's dash feel. They are simply two very different cars and should be appreciated for their own merits. I know it is usually done in jest but to snidely categorize a group of car owners is in my opinion poor form.

BTW...I forgot to ad that my personal hero is Smiling Bob...............Happy New Years!!!!!!!!

A Porsche is like a sip of fine wine. A Corvette is like a shot of Wild Turkey. To each his own.

Uh-O, I'm driving the wrong car. What do beer drinkers drive? The Chevy or Ford pick-up? (As I sit here with a Great Lakes Brewing Elliot Ness.)

Depends on the beer. My son drinks Guiness and he drives a BMW. I drink it too (love my wine too!) and I currently drive a Lexus.

Go figure.
