Connie and I were over at University Chevrolet today (serpentine belt on the van decided to start coming unraveled...) and they had a brand new 2008 Corvette in the Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat. I'll be honest, I don't know what to think about it. From a distance it looks terrible, but closeup the color looks pretty nice. And the color also looks different depending on what angle you are viewing it from. So if someone had to ask me if I like the color or not, I would have to say "It depends...."
But both Connie and I agreed that the color makes the car kind of "girly" looking. So any of you guys interested in buying this color may take a hit on your masculinity. If that concerns you.......
But just in case, I think you all need to be aware of this, just in case (pay attention to rule #26)...

We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know
the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the
definition of each is listed below.
GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being
assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask, "Are you
still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"
BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of
perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and
having the balls to say, "You're next!"
