There should be an IQ test in order to own a Vette!

I needed something at the store this morning and the weather was perfect for open air driving, so I took out the Stingray. I got to the store a little early and while I was waiting for it to open a guy with a C6 pulls in next to me. The car was spotless with all the add on goodies and when the driver stepped out I could see he had all the right stuff (Crovette ballcap, Corvette event t-shirt and those cutsie little socks with the C5 emblem on them

). Once out of the car he starts wiping road spots off it and I think, here's a true Vette enthusiast, so I try to strike up a conversation.

I tell him how nice his car is and I can see he takes good care of it - he grunts - I ask him if it is his first Vette and if he likes the way it drives and handles - he grunts - I tell him that I have had Vettes since 1961 and that the Stingray is mine - he gives me that "and your point is" stare and grunts again. The store opens and he turns away and walks in. I almost gave him the one finger wave but then just figured that the poor slob is just disGRUNTled and has more dollars than sense. I guess the point of this rant is that not everyone who owns a Vette is part of the Vette culture.

WHEW, I feel better now

Yep sounds like a grunt to me.

I wonder if there's such a thing as Corvette A$$holes Anonymous? Seems like there should be and this guy needs to be in it!!!

Maybe......
He No Speaka Engrish.
Or... Cat has his tongue.
Or finally...He's a caveman and that's (grunting) his language.

I crack myself up!!!

I guess some people are just born assholes. Others become assholes through being massaged by life's experiences. And still others, well, they must take lessons and try to excel at the endeavor.

Maybe he just saw one of the GEICO adds and was upset.
Owning a Vette, so easy a caveman could do it....

Some people are content to just be born an asshole, but others have to prove it to the rest of the world on a daily basis. Maybe you just caught him in his "daily proof" time

Maybe he's a legend in his own mind. Sounds like he is love with the mirror! I can see him in bed with his corvette boxers and socks to hide his little weanie.

Well, at least it looks like he was taking good care of the car until maybe a "real" corvette person buys it from him...
