Ticked me off
So I went to a local car show today with the RedSled. The only ZR-1 in attendance. Some dude who drove up in a overly decorated C-6 comes walking by and starts going off on how crappy C-4s are to his Fat A$$ed and ugly girlfriend. I said, "man do you even know what this car is?" Guy has no clue what a ZR-1 is. The folks parked next to me in a beautiful '62 Corvette are cracking up. Pissed me off. Guy is going on and on about awful C-4s were built, crappy reliability, blah, blah, blah. Just shut up and learn some Corvette history you moron. My car happens to be fast, reliable and sounds better than yours so go back and polish your car...thanks I feel a little better. Grrrr......

Re: Ticked me off
finish the story, did you say something to him or just let it go. Some people are just too stupid to correct!

Re: Ticked me off
I said something. I also handed him a one-pager I have on the ZR-1 and said "read up." I didn't want to flame him too bad in front of his girl, but Jeez!

I guess it's good you tried, but you know the old saying "You can't fix stupid"

Re: Ticked me off
Lots of people have no idea about these cars. I was at another forum GTG today and youd think it was an Opel, everyone walked right past it. I did have someone point out the fact t wasnt washed..

He broke a cardinal rule;
Thou shall not condemn thy brethren If he wants to rag on a Rustang that would be fine, but never attack a Corvette! |

Re: Ticked me off
I don't blame you for being ticked off.
ZFactor is right, blood is supposed to be thicker than water.

Re: Ticked me off
That guy is a jerk. But, the good news is that the appreciative guys out-number the jerks by a wide margin. When I am at shows and cruise-ins, I get a lot more people who understand what a ZR-1 is or ask about it. I display a poster that describes the Engine Power Key. That really gets a lot of people's attention.
