So, add up your scores and see how you did.
If you have an abundance of A's, you are a Corvette OWNER. You bought the car mainly to drive on weekends and sunny days. Its the car you always sort of wanted and figured you would try one out. You will grow tired with its quirks and eventually trade it in on an SUV. You're not a bad person and you are welcomed into the Corvette community but you probably won't stay in for the long haul.
If you have a lot of B's, you are a Corvette ENTHUSIAST. You always wanted one and when you finally got it, had a blast. Its most likely your daily driver in good weather and you have some mods and have fun with the car. This is where the majority if Vette owners fall. You always wave and have fun at car shows and drag strips. You will probably always have at least one Corvette around during your life if finances will allow it.
If you have lots of C's, you are a Corvette FANATIC. You are pre-occupied with racing your car and being quicker and faster than everyone else. Numbers matching means nothing to you. You will forego groceries for the week in order to purchase a brake upgrade. Your neighbors give you a disparaging look as you rumble down the street but secretly admire your beastly machine. You are few and far between but everyone knows of at least one "Type C" out there. You actually do need help but since you are a hero to the B's, no one is willing to get you professional medical assistance.
So there it is folks. Again, this is merely for entertainment, if you are offended by this, **** off!!!!
There was one I added to the last one but I forgot to save it. I think it was:
Hoosier:
a:basketball
b:racing tires
c:your daddy?
