Ya know, something pre 1967 I'd love but anything new screams "58-year-old-guy with gold chains and a cigarette in his hand revving the engine."
My wife calls it the "creepy post middle aged guy car."
Just hard not to get past the Corvette stereotype.
Yeah, I know what you and your wife mean here Chet, however the ironic thing about this is that modern C6 Corvettes are probably the best sports cars for the buck out there in the world today.
(...though yeah, I also would rather own a C2, like the split-window '63 up there, than a new one too)
I know tech wise the newer Corvettes are much better all the way around, this will draw some heat and hate, but for my money they haven't built one since the 60s I'd want.
All the "creepy post middle aged" car guys I know have been that way since junior high. Two that come to mind, one is a MD, the other is a engineer at Ford. The engineer is Italian, so he came out of the womb with the gold chain.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
