Corvette experts?

[MrPrena]

Corvette drivers are humble relative to those freaking AMG, M , and P-car drivers. Oh yeah, GT-R drivers are horrible as well. I've seen 2 major GT-R accidents within past 5 year just inside Thornton/Northglenn/Westminster/Broomfield area.

Better question(s) for Corvette experts:

1) Why are Corvettes so damn ugly?
2) Why are all Corvette drivers such douche bags? (present company possibly excluded)

Inquiring minds want to know.

What's the difference between a Corvette and a cactus?

















The pricks are on the outside of a cactus!

Thankyou, thankyou, I'll be here all week...

First off only young Corvette owners are DBs. The rest of them are over 50, love tweed hats and jackets with Corvette embroidered on the back. You may have started something.

Well since it seems to be a car kind of day here so I wanted to post an update.
The '73 runs, sort of so a fair amount of work to do on the fueling system. The right front brake caliper must have blown the o-ring, so after some research I will probably just buy an assembled caliper and replace it because the C3 models like this one have a tendency to blow them out after sitting for so long. The engine has definitely has had some work done to it as it idles like its got a cam and who knows what else done to it. "Lightly massaged" I would say.
Better to be safe than sorry, right?
Now for some pics for all you gear heads...

You should replace all brake calipers and or wheel cylinders, you'll thank me for it later. Your wallet maybe not. Repack the bearings while at it. Any vehicle we picked up that sat more than 6 months, received brake line flush and inspection of wheel cylinders and or calipers. Finding out when you need to stop, the vehicle doesn't, OR locks up, is the wrong time.

Thanks Jim that is what is going to happen, all new brake calipers(discs on all corners) and possibly a new master cylinder/brake booster setup. I have been talking with the guys at Corvette Connection and they are saying the same thing. Some work I will do and some they will do. I'd rather drive the car now versus two years down the road. I don't want it to be one of "those projects" that sits in the garage for two years before sit is done.

Basically I am going to have them go over it to make it safe and street able then I will take care of the rest.
I need a raise

The rebuild kit is sitting in the passenger seat as I think about it. Had to prime the primaries by dumping fuel in them to get it running. Just a bit dry after all these years.

Probably a good portion old fuel line, too. Get that pup up and running

Better question(s) for Corvette experts:

1) Why are Corvettes so damn ugly? Because for 61 years enough people don't share that subjective sentiment evidenced by continued sales as well as monstrous collector values.

2) Why are ALL Corvette drivers such douche bags? (present company possibly excluded) Every make and model has their share of douche back drivers. I would venture to say that there are a lot of really good people that own('d) a Vette. I think there are a lot of jack ass Porche owners, but one of my best friends owned a Porche so obviously not ALL of them are bad. Incidentally, I also think all models of Porche are butt ugly, but that is my opinion.

Nice lookin' vette. We almost need to do a car meet for all the members here with cool rides.

This would be fun!
