Some of the opinion towards Corvette owners is sad.

I've seen many cops standing in the road pulling each car that he wants over. (sometimes at his own peril...LOL). It would be interesting to find out FIRST how these guys got pulled over prior to hurling insults. And 2, it isn't such a terrible thing to NOT run from a cop for a simple 30 over ticket.

Yes it is.

Funny, within the past few days, there was a thread on the Corvette Forum. I dont remember the details of the original poster...maybe asking about a certain model?? Anyway, many of the responses, (including mine) were from fellow Corvette owners talking about their other car which was different Lexus models.


....anyway, i better git goin, strap on my mullet, and crank up jesse's girl

That is the first time I've seen a cop actually working.
