I'd rock it. Thats a damn nice car. And I cant believe I'm saying this, but I almost like that interior. LOL one thing I will never understand about GM is why they design such huge steering wheels. Look at that thing. Looks like it was lifted off of a Mack truck and put on a sports car.

Such a person will have several other cars and the issue of "reliability" will not even figure into the equation. I know that if I could afford even a base Corvette, "reliability" would certainly not sway my decision.
This car is only about performance! PERIOD!
Now I need to go out and buy some lottery tickets so that I can get one!

Yes and no. I have seen it both ways. Some people with money still want a reliable car....and some, like you say, don't care.
