That's why after 4 Vettes I still don't belong to any Vette clubs. Some of the owners are fun to hang out with but the majority would rather wash and wax and sit around and talk...F that.

I went to the Atlanta dragway a while back where a Vette club came. They couldn't fit the stereotype of a vette driver any better. My mom's minivan had better times than those fuckers. It sucks because Vettes are badass cars.

The Chevy Corvette = World's fastest golfcart.

The wife and I went to a couple of meetings/gatherings several years ago and said "We're OUT !!"

Mine runs pretty decent and although I don't drive it as much as I used to...mainly due to the bikes and the boat...gets driven like a performance car should be.

Oops missed this one...I don't know about his but mine's never been back to a dealership and the only "fixing" has been to tune or add performance parts.

Hope I didn't just jinx myself and now something on it breaks.

That's because the workers in Bowling Green aren't your typical union workers and the cars are actually made well. IIRC GM selects good workers who aren't union friendly (though they are Union becuase they don't like replacing tires every week) and actually believe in doing good quality work. Mainly becuase they do plant tours and you can't have your typical UAW plant employee in the eye of the public becuase the tour would suck. You would be staring in at them and them staring back at you.

Makes sense.
