I saw this thing on Myth Busters... you've got nothing to lose.  Crack an egg into the radiator.  They put a screwdriver hole through the radiator and they tried a number of things to plug it.  The only thing that worked was an egg.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that.  The only way I'd drive a Corvette is if I stole it... or if someone paid me.
#10
I may be interested if it'll drive back to New York State for the right price.  Post pictures & more information!
#11
In my price range, but still too far away for me.
#12
Ha ha.  Nice!!

Sorry, it's just a personal pet peave to me.  Around here, in Central New York, YOU WILL NEVER SEE a Corvette lose pavement.  And to be honest, the older ones are more of an appreciation.  I'm just SICK of seeing brand new ones that people think are unique.

Here's some pictures of the Hawk... and no, IT IS NOT for sale, nor will it ever be for sale.  Right now, it's bone stock with 13,000 miles on it.  It is a 6-speed with **no traction control** - a rarity in itself for a Firehawk.  Note the spoiler - a lot of people who get the SLP conversion stick with the stock Trans Am spoiler, but this one is an SLP spoiler.  In the second picture, you can see my recently retired '94 Grand Prix SE - R.I.P.  I replaced it with an '07 G6 GTP.

Off Topic / Corvettes are for unimaginative old men
March 15, 2008, 12:05:33 PM
I know this is a TGP forum site, and I'm new here, and I don't want to offend anyone, but I just have to say this: the Corvette is an unstylish, WAY overpriced, unimaginative, old man's car.  It's not that I "dislike" them.  What I'm saying is that when you go to any off-the-road car show, if there are 100 cars there, 85 are Corvettes, 10 are Mustangs, and 5 are "racing" Civics.  People have so little imagination that they've turned the Corvette into a common car.  How many F- and rare W-bodies have you ever seen at a common off-the-road car show?  Maybe 1?  I'm sure I can't count it on two hands.  I was surprised and impressed to see a '90 Buick Reatta at a local car show in Utica, NY.  While all the other drones were drooling over a Corvette they've seen 94 different times that same hour, I'm looking at a piece of RARE equipment... I mean the Reatta is a car you see just as much (if not less) than a TGP.  It had a touch-screen dash, storage back seats - a real "different" car - UNLIKE the Corvette.  Every time I see smug Corvette drivers do their queer little "headlight flip" when passing each other, I cringe at their utter stupidity.  MOST - not all - but WELL over 60 percent of Corvette drivers don't ever plan on using their 8 cylinders in any situation.  If there was a 1987 Trans Am GTA right next to a 2007 Corvette, and I got to drive away in one... EVERY SINGLE TIME, I would take the GTA.  I own a 2000 Trans Am Firehawk - not THAT rare of a car, but rare enough.  I've honestly only seen two other Firehawks besides mine in real life (1 in NY and 1 in CA), and the one in NY was salvaged.  Now I'm looking for a TGP.  Basically, in my opinion, buying a Corvette is like saying, "Well, I'm boring and unimaginative, plus I'm getting old, and I want to spend way too much money on a common car."  Again, this is not to be pointed at anyone personally, but it kind of IS the truth.  Be different - go against "society" and status quo, and buy something with meaning, instead of popularity.
