Default So I spent a little time in the Corvette Forum...

And below is a direct grab from one of their forums... It's bad enough they do it... but to be so stupid as to actually admit and brag about it rings the bell for A$$hat of the year award.

When people make the case for the different type of drivers between the marques -- you don't know the half of it.

Q: Are they still shutting down the Garden State Parkway for the T4Tots race? Those were the days...

A:no, and they will hand out tickets. People posting it on youtube messed it up for everyone, but those were the days. On this last one I was hitting 180 and someone tried to keep up with me, a trooper pulled out and pulled him over, I saw it happening in the rear view and I shut it down and hit the right lane.

I'm sure they were all in caged cars with full safety gear.

Default B.S.

I like Porsches too, but this post reeks of snobbery, probably fueled by base insecurity.

Plenty of Porsche owners do stupid things. Think Magnus Walker's video showing him street racing with a Honda Civic. Or Magnus running into his own trailer at a Porsche dealership event just recently. Or Paul Walker in his Carrera GT. And that's just "famous" people off the top of my head.

On the highways of Southern California I generally see Corvettes with older guys traveling at the speed limit in one of the middle lanes. They drive much better than the Prius owners.

Sorry, but crapping on an entire class of car owners based on one quote of some forum is just plain stupid. This is the kind of thing that's hard not to dislike about some Porsche people.

Completely agree. Go to the right forum and you can find stuff like this about every performance car brand.

I daily drive a modded 911 turbo and road race a Z06 so I'm on the roadrace section of that forum a bit, I find there is some pretty good experience to tap into there.

Gimme a break! Are you being triggered? Do you need to go to a safe place?

It's humor! We all need to lighten up.

Corvette owners are having midlife crises.
Porsche owners are ******.
Ferrari owners are d-bags.
Prius owners are mainly transvestites.

Well maybe that last one is true.

Let's not get our panties in a bunch! Learn to laugh with other people and at yourself.

I will admit I find the Corvette forums more entertaining than 'round here (I just lurk)... but not typically quite the same depth of knowledge over there; those that do are knowledgeable enough, but generally a smaller group...
