I've never understood the appeal of the Corvette.

Beautiful pictures of a nice model. This happens to be one of only a couple
I don't have in my collection. I have no idea how I missed this one as I thought I had bought every Corvette model as they were introduced.

And many of us don't understand your lust for some of the ugliest cars on the planet and your hatred of some of the most beautiful. To each there own George! I've personally owned 6 of the beasts over the years and the first one was a 69 427 4-speed car. Few cars match the excitement of climbing in and grabbing that shifter and turning the key and feeling the THROB of that big V-8 permeate through the car and launching it. The Z06 I had was faster but the thrill was completely different.

I've never understood the appeal either, to be honest.

Yes you do, George, its for all the various reasons there are, you just dont like them. Personally, I dont get too pumped up about them either when it comes to collecting models of them or any of the others tagged: "Muscle Car". Or pick-up trucks either. However, I would not proclaim an ignorance of their appeal because of a personal dislike and I do understand their appeal - its as obvious as all hell.
But I can tell you one thing, that if I hear any one of these cars sitting at a set of traffic lights, exhaust beat throbbing I get a thrill eclipsed only by the roar from its twin exhausts as the car is launched forward at mach speed up the road in a kind of screw you defiance. And for a brief moment I wish that this car was mine!
