Tomorrow is my day... I pick it up in the morning.

I'm standing next to it tonight looking in the window and a guy's pushing his wife in a wheelchair and she stopped him next to my car, she say "look at that car, I love it"... she didn't know it was mine ;-)

Love how the car looks and drives. A kick every time. Others love it too.kids take pictures of it as you pass. Thumbs up happen again and again because everyone loves this car and for real solid reasons. Corvette has a real winner here and we are the lucky ones to drive one!

I've had a vette since I was 21....that was over 3 decades ago. I did have to take a sabbatical from ownership for a few years when I was stationed overseas.... I really don't care what others think..... It's an American Icon...

She'll always be the "other" lady...and my wife is fine with that...

I'm not embarrassed or care what other people think about the cars I drive.

I traded in a '12 Camaro 2LS for my Sonic LT Hatchback and haven't looked back. I love driving my Sonic. It's a snappy little car and it's fun to drive. The guys at work laughed at first, but there are now more Sonics showing up in the parking lot where those big 4x4's and muscle car gas guzzlers used to sit.

I traded in my '11 Camaro 2SS/RS for my '13 Camaro ZL1. The guys again thought I was crazy since there was nothing wrong with my SS, but you can't argue with 580 hp off the showroom floor.

Then I traded in my '13 ZL1 and ordered my '14 Stingray. Again, the guys thought I was nuts. My response to them was, "Go drive a ZL1 and a new Stingray then come back and talk to me." I'm not so crazy anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my Camaros, but there's just something about a Vette and that's why I went from muscle cars to a world class sports car.

Sounds like a bunch of haters would be making those kind of comments. Corvette's from day one have been built for performance. And majority of owners purchase the car because of this.
