Am I the only one that thinks the C7 is better looking than the C8. Just has more something about it.

Same. I saw a really nice yellow C6 the other day, really like those too.

I'd drive a yellow C6 Z06 no problem.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Yup. I’m still really horny for the C5 ZO6 too. Lusted after those while in undergrad. Like the C6 I would have to visit Caravaggio for some interior improvements.

C5 is my favorite. Still love those lines, and everything about it screams 'Corvette' to me. That said, the C7, especially in GS or Z06 form, is better looking than the C6 or C8 IMO. Even the late (LT1) C4's are growing a lot on my recently...

Probably because it's the car that our generation grew up with as teenagers.

The landlord who owned the house where I rented a room in when I was 19 and itching to get out of my parents house, he had a C5 Corvette.  Just a beautiful car.  He also had a Chevy SSR, so who knows how good his taste really was  :o

Took the GF's Toyota in for e-brake adjustment and some other stuff. Turns out the A/C compressor is toast. Oh well, no A/C for that car till it goes this fall...

Lexus goes in tomorrow, Alfa the day after.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Eff, man.  That's a shitty one.  It's usually buried in the dash...lots of labour.

Condenser under the hood, no? Evaporator possibly buried in the dash.

Ah, you are correct.  That makes it a little easier.

Metric Motors isn't too bad. Scandinavian Auto is pretty good according to Chaos as well.
