no, I don't want them either, thanks... If you have any Grey Poupon, I'll take some, that's good stuff.

I've always wondered why all the negativeity surrounding vettes and its owners? why is it either a P or a Vette? Why is it mutually exclusive? Take my friend for example- a true car junkie. He has like 20+ cars in his "collection" (no garage queens, he drives'em all). All far as P cars hes got a cup car, a GT2rs, a 993 and some more. He ALSO owns some very few cool vettes including a 196x split window, a Callaway Convert, and an original zr1. He and I like cars regardless of brand.

BTW, last time I checked my friend didnt have any chest hair!

When I turned 16 I told my dad I wanted a Corvette. He slapped me on the back and said he thought that I should have one. Then he asked what color I was going to purchase. Started saving. Soon as I had enough money, I bought a VW 1300. A Bursch aftermarket muffler was a gateway drug to Porsche and cleared up the Corvette thing.

16 year old boys think the Corvette is awesome... Then, some of us grow up and realize it isn't. Congratulations.

Doc, you obviously have a need for external validation. Owning a Porsche isn't doing it for you.

Hilarious. Sounds like you rid yourself of a disease.

I do not understand all the corvette negativity either. Wo cares who buys what. The corvette guys prolly label porsche guys as rich weenies driving vacuum cleaners. Furthermore, why all this negativity towards chest hair! I have chest hair, I'm no grizzly bear, and women love it. No gold chains though. Sold those back at gold 1800 lol.

Just kidding. I like the C7 and have no doubt it will be outstanding, but not in place of a 991.

If I did, I would agree with everyone else here instead of being willing to share my own contrarian views.
