Default Corvette People And Their Funny Names

Corvette people have found names for all sorts of things found on their Corvette's i.e... Wheels= Gumbys, or Salad shooters. ZR-1 Owners have a Pizza box, C6 Chicklets. What else can you come up with, All platforms included, and please include photos if you can. This is a fun kind of thread I hope.

Let's not forget the "wagon wheels" on the '97-'99 C5.

How about Vert. The forums are about the only place you will see it. I have always called Corvette's with the drop top a roadster as do all of the auction and magazines.
