20 Truths of Corvette Ownership

CorvetteForum.com member “Tire Guy” recently purchased a Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic Corvette and has the “fever” very bad. He recently wrote the following forum post: 20 Truths of Vette Ownership after One Month 1. It makes me smile just thinking about it in the garage.
2. I hate my daily driver company vehicle, Ford F-150, didn’t before.
3. When I get bummed about the roof I just go sit in the car, no more bummed.
4. I park a long way out from the front door of the store, not only to protect it but to look at it while walking out to it.
5. The power it has makes me cautious and reckless both.
6. Really makes me nervous when the wife decides she wants to take it to work.
7. It doesn’t bother me when the wife and kids say I am obsessed with it.
8. The car cover I hate because I can’t see the car when I walk through the garage. But I still use it everyday.
9. It is amazing how many errands I am willing to do just to drive it. Makes me mad when I have to take the truck, like to the hardware store.
10. It makes a terrific grocery getter.
11. It is NEVER clean enough.
12. Every little piss-ant Honda or Pontiac must delight in blowing past me while I stay close to the speed limit.
13. I spend way too much time in the left hand lane looking for other Vettes to wave to.
14. I have banned all bikes and skateboards from the garage.
15. I spend too much time on this forum. But it has been worth every minute.
16. I love the GY SuperCar tires, I hate the GY SuperCar tires.
17. It bothers me when I see another DSOM in my small town. I don’t know why, it just does.
18. I want to tell everyone I know that I have it, even strangers.
19. I haven’t told anybody at work that I bought it, don’t want them to know I HAD that kind of money to spend on a car.
20. I NEVER GET TO DRIVE IT ENOUGH! The funny thing about Corvettes is how much effect they can have on us. My ’66 Corvette is now 40 years old and most of these same points that Tire Guy made about his 2006 is exactly how I feel about my 1966. My last point worth mentioning is that Tire Guy feels this way after only one month while I’ve had the same “fever” since 1993, when the ’66 Corvette officially moved to Florida with me. Corvette Fever doesn’t get any better with age, and if it did, well, that would kind of suck… Source: CorvetteForum.com
