Wait, does that truck bed still have doors? That can't possibly be a stock body. Can it? I want to hate it as much as I do the Cube but I can't.

In my sideview...what you can't see is the green Toyota logo on the grille, or the hole cut in the hood slightly right of center. I assume to feed cold air to a short ram, but I don't know where the filter sits on an old Tercel. The roof lights were what originally caught my attention. It was droning like gently caress too...can't imagine why.

Shamelessly stolen from the funny pictures thread in PYF I've been seeing more and more cars with this kind of exhaust arrangement, I hope it's not the beginning of some new, horrible fad.

This is why when people find out I own a Corvette and say "OH you're a Vette guy!" I always reply back with "No, I am not a Corvette guy. I'm a car guy who has a Corvette." Most people don't seem to understand the difference.

My dad traded his '86 Corvette for a JAGUAR XJsomethingsomething because he was tired of other Vette owners (and because my mum wanted a nice car that had more than 2 seats). Eventually I got the Jaguar which was promptly stolen and we breathed a collective sigh of relief.

There's a decent group of guys in Oklahoma of all places, though. I don't think I'll find a group like that here, though. It was the absolute worst. I beat the piss out of my car. I've modified it (headers, cam, exhaust... supercharger soon) and drive it like it's meant to be driven. I've got rock chips on the front, a scratch here and there and it's got 83k miles now and I could care less. The owners I met were astounded that it's "only 10 years old with that many miles." They were also appalled that it had rock chips and I kept it outside. Many of them also thought it was insane that a 25 year old could afford a 10 year old Corvette and insisted it must have been my dad that bought it. There was one guy who had an 1989 C4 that only had like 10k miles on it, who was a huge prick. He kept telling one guy that said he had a '1983' Corvette, that there was no real 1983 Corvette and they were all just 1982 C3's that were carried over and then in 1984 the C4 came out. I chimed in that there were actually eleven 1983 C4s, ten of which were destroyed and one is still alive in the Bowling Green Corvette Museum. He called me a insufferable twerp and told me to get lost. I was actively involved in the conversation the entire time and I wasn't calling him out and being an rear end in a top hat, but he took it as a huge insult. I walked back to my car to get a pack of smokes and that's when I noticed most of the cars had chrome tail lamp covers, chrome exhaust plates between the mufflers, fake spoilers, port holes, fake caliper covers that stuck out 3" past the rotor on each side, people making the argument of why they bought a C6 Z06 over a Ferrari because the price for performance was un-matched (sorry bitch, the only reason you bought a Corvette and not a Ferrari, is because you couldn't afford a Ferrari) and I couldn't take it any more. I lasted 45 minutes. I left and never looked back and never wanted to be associated with those people ever again. After that experience is when I started telling people I am a car guy who owns a Corvette, not a Corvette guy. Luckily there is a SMALL group of actual car guys who own Corvettes out here who hate the typical Corvette guy. They've all modified their cars extensively, and include all types of cars in the meets they have. I enjoy hanging out with them but never ever ever will I go to an all Corvette meet ever again.

That's how this other group was. A bunch of guys who enjoyed working on their cars, and enough who knew what they were doing to help those who didn't. It was just a cool car group who all happened to own Corvettes. Hell, they'd show up to meets in their other vehicles sometimes and nobody cared.

I'm suddenly really glad that the only person I know that owns a 'vette is a swell guy that used to take his C5 to SCCA events and run the poo poo out of it (even has a few 3rd and 2nd place trophies). He takes ridiculously good care of it but had no problem driving it balls out on a track, at least until he got too old to feel safe doing it. Now that I think about it, he has said before that other Corvette owners piss him off to no end because most are loving insufferably smug pricks that wipe their cars with diapers.

The only Corvette owner I know owns a 2000 convertible (Bought in 2002 or 2003) and sports a Corvette logo tattoo across his shoulders. I don't have a photo of it but it goes well with his mullet. Edit: Automatic. Faerunner fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Dec 9, 2012 |

Dizman posted:(sorry bitch, the only reason you bought a Corvette and not a Ferrari, is because you couldn't afford a Ferrari) To be fair, I wouldn't buy a Ferrari even if I had the money. I don't really like luxuries in cars and I prefer having a Corvette because it's not worth a lot so you don't mind driving it like you hate it. I also got mine back when I was 25 but it didn't take much internet searching to realize I don't need to be going to the local Corvette meets with a bunch of 60 year old dudes. Terrible Robot posted:Now that I think about it, he has said before that other Corvette owners piss him off to no end because most are loving insufferably smug pricks that wipe their cars with diapers. I've heard that a few times but I honestly don't know if it's hyperbole or not. Are (unused) diapers actually a good thing to rub a car with? If so, is that what you use to... dry it? or wax it? davebo fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Dec 10, 2012 |

I don't understand this at all. If anything a Corvette should be the ultimate self-depreciating car guy car? It goes fast and handles well for not a lot of money and is just middle American values on wheels. They start at like what $45k? That's BMW-3-series-with-leather money, what is there to be an insufferable prick *about*? Are these people just sill thinking in 1983 dollars? I really want a Viper one day, and there are enough Viper owners in my town to actually have a club where they go on cruises and poo poo. I wonder what their meets are like? Presumably the people who are bad drivers/insufferable are all killed in no-ABS-no-ETC crashes/set on fire by the exhaust early in their ownership.

This type of person seems to be highly correlated with those who don't actually DRIVE their cars much, possibly even to the point of trailer queening something that is hardly worth it (like so many 356 guys I've had the misfortune to run into).

So they have some kind of a smug fygm mentality...then there's the crowd that thinks these cars need a ton of chrome trim and gaudy loving wheels, but they're smug about whatever shitheap car they've done the same mods to since high school. gently caress those guys. I didn't buy a paperweight, I drive the hell out of my C2.
