I've been a Corvette lover for half a century. I love darn near every Vette that has ever been produced, and I'm good with this one too.
In a year or two, it'll look like it totally belongs in the stable.
My favorite Vette is a 69 with the 63 split a close second. But after the ‘Stingray’ style body was replaced with the mid 80s ones, I just didn’t ‘see it’ as a Vette. To me they look like a variant on the Firebird of the era. The later ones are ‘OK’ to me but still not the same. But then I’m a Ford guy so my opinion on the matter is about irrelevant ;)
I new a guy with one of the first Crossfire cars. After the first 12 trips to the dealer he left it in his garage hoping someday it would be worth something as the dealer would not take it back and he didn’t want to screw anyone selling it to them...or himself for the financial loss he’d have to take to sell it honestly.
But then all Chevy lovers are unAmerican communists anyway... ;)
