The color yellow is also an insect attractant.

That's funny. I shop at Wal-mart all the time. Often in my corvette in the summer time.

I dont remember running something over, but it made its way on the fender, door, window, rear window, rear quarter and hatch lid. Was a pain to get off the little specks that were like sap. I was so damn frustrated. Other corvette people around here on the other hand....damn nice people!
You must have had a "Roll Tide" sticker on your Vette.

It comes from the fact that 47% of the general population don't pay any Federal Income Tax, meaning they in effect don't pay anything for our national defense, for the over 500 federal programs designed to "help" the "poor", to pay for the cost of natural disaster relief, etc., etc. So, in effect 47% of people are on the public dole because they don't contribute to the cost of all these things; and the other 53% of the public pay not only their fair share, but more than their fair share, because they are supporting the other 47%.

People are living longer these days due to advances in medicine so now we have a overpopulation problem on top of the rapid breeding problem.

DONT put a camera in your car. Thats just incentive to break the window and steal the camera. I once had somebody spit on my car. fortunately i knew who did it because i had a witness....revenge never tasted so sweet

Haha I know your feeling. I occasionally take a trip out to Buckeye AZ and everyone there just gives you the cold shoulder

When I had my first C6 which was Black someone did the same thing to mine, it takes a real low life to do smoothing like this.

You mean the 53% don't pay their fair share don't you? Or so I'm always being told

Plus we have the worst roads all beat up, pot holes that will bend your rims or ruin your alignment. More expensive to maintain a car here because of all this that we pay for but doesn't get done.

Don't even think of taking your Corvette to San Francisco (real bad roads) and especially in the hilly areas. Not a Corvette friendly place. Better off with a Buick Park Avenue to protect yourself (body) from all the shock and isolate you better from torn up unmaintaned roads.
Where is all that pot taxes going to? lol. Maybe the workers are too high to work.
