Corvette’s ass looks like GMC’s face: Too big, too square, too ugly.

Good point. If it’s water cooled, they should call it the Corvwet.

These have aged extremely well, in my book. I was never a fan when they were new but they’re striking and distinctive today, certainly more the Z4s that followed it. An underrated car. 

These are all good advice, but I felt the need to point out one caveat: Price.

What’s wrong with having a bill of sale? I have for every car I’ve ever bought or sold, it’s a good way to cover your ass.

I completely disagree with some of these. There are plenty of simple fixes that I won’t do before selling a car because I’m not going to get the money back on them in the car sale. The last car I sold needed new rear shocks. Rear shocks aren’t terribly difficult to replace, but if it’s going to cost me $X to replace

I like it. I hope those intakes outboard of the headlights are functional.

I did a little digging and found out this guy paid $5,700 for it at Manheim Fredericksburg in October. In all its only worth about $8,000. It’s not so bad that he’s trying to double his money, he’s trying to get 160% of retail cost!

This sums it up pretty nicely. 

Meh, if everyone who decried the dearth of manual transmission options actually bought new cars, manufacturers would still be making them.  

I hate to break this to you, but you can plainly see the radiator supports through the grill of an e46 if you look at it from the same angle. In fact if you look a nearly any car from that angle you can see the radiator supports. And that’s basically the exact same honeycomb grill that’s in any facelifted e46 with the

This.

I people (especially non-bikers) often take absolute numbers as indication what’s exciting/scary/dangerous/whatever. I mean bikes with short wheelbase and lot of power are quite more scetchy ( in a good way) and fun than even more powerful bikes with long wheelbase and lots of high speed stability. And even

Ah, but the secret of the Hayabusa was never power - it was a stealth sport-touring bike that was dressed in a way to keep street cred. The bike is much longer than a race derived bike and the larger engine is paired with longer gears, so it was never even as fast as the R1000 in a quarter mile. The busa and ZX-14 are

There is and was a ton of bufoonery with the ‘Busa, but *true* squidom is a dude with no jacket on a GSX-R600 - that’s the Mustang of bikes

It was about aero more than styling. 

That’s the part of Corvette purity I don’t understand. The first ones had inline sixes so why so detailed?

Yep.  Same mentality that said a water cooled 911 wasn’t a 911.  A water cooled BMW boxer wasn’t a BMW.  Get over folks, times change and progress isn’t waiting for you on the sidelines.

It is a corvette because they will afix the logo to it.  The first one was a straight six.

I made this, it makes the 2019 Camaro look much better.
