They are nice looking cars, but not very useful in the Northeast with the snow and the Dem run states that divert highway funds to social programs and leave the roads potted liked they’ve been bombed.

Even the handful of times you might find a decent road and warm weather, what fun is it driving 55 mph?

You consider the mid-engined Corvette to be a “nice looking car”? I would agree its performance and value are notable, but “nice looking”? Not to me. Like others, I’ve observed it gives the impression of being the offspring of an 90’s Ferrari or Lamborghini that mated with a Japanese origami creation.

It's the problem with any "sporty" car. You have to drive it with restraint, so good-bye fun.

A long time ago, a friend lent me his Corvette for a test drive. I was impressed by what it did easily, without skidding or noise. The speed limits were obviously too low for this car. I had to keep reminding myself to avoid testing the car's limits. The car was very willing, but...

RESTRAINT.
