    Where can I see more of this “Corvette man?” Also why isn’t he an 80-year-old man driving 45MPH down the freeway like every Corvette owner I’ve ever seen?

      A friend of mine in his 60s (I think) has a Corvette. Automatic. And he drives it like grandma on her way to church.

      I understand that cops are going to be happy to pull over a Corvette. But you can still go the speed limit. And you don’t have to cruise under the speed limit in the middle lane… Basically, he’s the kind of driver that irritates me.

      There’s a surprisingly large number of (new) Corvettes in my region, so you wouldn’t have to look long. However, they are mostly owned by middle aged white men who like to speed (but not enough to warrant having a sports car).

        Where I live it seems that all the Corvettes are owned by young men who live with their parents. Shitty jobs and their whole paycheck goes to the car’s bank note.

        Nobody should be driving crazy enough to need a sports car on public roads. That’s insanely stupid to do. If they can afford the sports car, they can afford some track days.
