Corvette haters
Discussion
The only negative reaction I had to a Corvette was back in 1994 when I had the C4 and was parked in a local pub in Cowboytown. I had the targa off and a bottle sailed through the air and bounced off the top of the screen, inches from my head, emanating from a group of about 8 local youths with a combined IQ of 7.
However, this may have been not only the Corvette but the fact that I was going out with one of the local girls to whom they no doubt aspired. I was the interloper from out of town messin' with their women. LOL.
Overall I get a prettyy positive reaction.

Can't say I've really experienced this. Maybe people are more friendly towards older cars. Did have a pedestrian shout "twats" once when there were 3 of us out together. I wanted to stop and get out for a "chat" but the wife said NO. And like any husband, I obeyed. Maybe next time he'll do it when I'm alone.
I dont think its a personal thing i just think there are some people that are total sad B
s eg ; ime driving someone in my cab and we see a 'Flash'car broken down the passenger in my cab might say something like "Serves them right for having a Flash motor" ,when i turn round and point out that person might of earned the right to have a nice car they answer with a "spose so"......D'oh!

well im not sure what it is, i doubt its the area there quite a few flash cars local to me, but i suppose it really comes down to jealousy, also i havent ever seen another C4 in my area since i bought mine, seen 3 C5s and 2 C3s but no C4s.

,,the rotters!
My C4 was egged on Halloween night when a load of youths were congregating in the road on the exit to a roundabout. OK, I was exercising my "right of way" which made a few jump but the eggshell created a sort of peppered ring (ooh-er) of chips where it struck. I was tempted to go back and drive over them but you know...grown up decisions and everything.

Hmm same place,may i suggest we have a serial egg case in the town,or maybe its just the birds
Eggs & chips? Now I'm getting hungry. This tends to point to people going out at night with eggs about their person. Curious.
I've only had one negative reaction to the Vette in 5 years of owning it. Some kid shouted "Plastic Crap" out of his car window. I couldn't help laughing, the car he was driving looked like it had just been pulled out of a crusher! Looking back, I should have egged him
