New Corvettes

[Dan Barlow]

I think they take their design cues from the Japanese.

I think that they all look italian on the outside like a F40 or an
Aventador .

I guess I need to look at sporty cars more often, so I can keep up.

For some reason I don't imagine that anything built after 1957 would hold much sway to you

I don't know about that, I'm getting into this 62 Chevy II I'm building.

so let's see, you've moved forward 5 years in 4 decades.... so in another 400 years, you'll be fine with the 2014 Corvettes....

The first time I had 'Vette "future shock" was the day in fall 1967 that I first saw a new C3 in our town . . . parked in the grocery store parking lot with a window sticker still on it. . . Before then "Corvette" only meant the C2 Stingray. I couldn't believe it was a actually a Corvette.

Almost as confusing was when I later saw a bulbous C1 for the first time . . .

To me, the new car's not nearly as shocking as that first C3 was (and alas, not as "boss" looking).

Its got that folded, spindled...insectoid look to it. I think they have taken their tie-in to the Transformers too seriously.

I first noticed Corvettes when I got a model kit of the new 69....so there was no shock for me when they showed up. I was seven.

Holy crap, you're younger than me?!!

[Beagle]

Holy crap, you're younger than me?!!

did you really put this up there and expect to be left alone? Yay! I'm younger than both of you... but being stuck at 15 probably isn't all that much to brag about.

That must be why I thought it was a GRX - from Speed Racer in 1967.

I'll admit the first one I saw I said "Holy Shit, is that a 'vette?" but Japanimation cues or not, it wasn't that hard to recognize. I wanted to throw up on the 1983. This thing manages to make me want one badly.

I still say, sometime soon somebody types in just the right combo of button presses on the electronic dash and.........Vetteimus Prime Arises!

Holy crap, you're younger than me?!!

When I met Squirrel, I was shocked that he was younger than me, too . . . I expected him to be a sexagenarian (Look it up, kids . . . it doesn't mean what you may assume it does)

Why? You needing something to shuttle golf bags to the country club? Just sayin'

There are a few guys in our car club who have vettes, none quite this new, but they also seem to be the guys who drive the slowest when we go on road trips. Like 10-15 mph under the speed limit slow.
