Corvette Z06 Now Holds Royalty Status



We knew it was only a matter of time. Now it’s official: The Corvette Z06 has gone from being an American icon to gaining global Prince status.

I read this article once and skimmed it a second time. It doesn't make any sense.

A member of the corvette racing team showed his car to a European prince, and because the European prince looked at the car (and "we don't know what he said") - the car has now gained royalty status or "global prince status?"

I guess that sounds better than "Corvette Racing Team Member Shows Z06 to Dutch Prince, We Don't Know What Prince Said"....

And I'm sure there are some royal brats in the middle east that have them already

That, and if Kate Middleton drove a Prius, would we consider it a royal car? Or if they use Charmin toilet paper, is that now "royal TP"?

Well, they are on the throne when they use that TP, so it does make some sense.

You just illustrated why I am merely a pleb who is unworthy of royalty. I couldn't even figure that out on my own
