    I never liked Porshe's style, there are so many other cars that look so much nicer. BMW and Benz also look bad.

    Maybe I'm just weird <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    You're weird. And I doubt you wouldn't take it if you were offered one.

    Sorry, what? Can't turn a Corvette? They handle just fine. And calling the Corvette a couch on wheels? You can sleep on a couch. I tried sleeping in the passenger seat yesterday. It's utterly impossible. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    That's cause it's suspension makes the car shake like a chiwawa in winter, and it can turn just fine....you just have to give it a few minutes.

    Reliability, good mileage, safety. Thats all I care about in a car.

    Why buy a Bentley when they look like monkey turd? They're jam-packed with little features, but what's that matter when they look so OLD?
    The next model Corvette owns all your mothers, by the way. I never will know why they changed the headlights, though.

    And for the record any Porsche higher than a Carrera will utterly smoke any corvette on the road.

    Heh, all this coming from people who get all their car knowledge from the web and magazines and crap. You could only DREAM of getting behind the car's we're talking about here.
    Good to know there's a raging flame war over a short, simple comment I made, huh?
