I don't defend having it. I have told people that I have always wanted a vette, and finally was able to get one. I have also told people that I am very blessed to have it.

I live in Quebec,Canada and bought a 2005 Vette in dec.2012. everyone comments on where did I get the money for it? when I tell them I paid less than 30k they say but it is only for summer driving. I tell them I bought it to drive for 7 months and rain or shine because it was my dream car for 55 years.I don't take 4 vacation trips a year! I drive my dream car instead.that keeps them quiet. most people give me envy looks and others thumbs up.I LOVE my DREAM CAR!!!!!!

I purchased my new 2013 Grand Sport, in January of 2013.

Since then, I've had a variety of remarks from neighbors, acquaintances, family members, and even a few friends.

Here's some of the typical comments, and my typical responses.

That's a pretty expensive toy isn't it? --- No, not really, Lamborghinis are expensive, Corvettes not so much.
How much did it cost? --- Out the door, $61,000.
Like I said, that's a lot of money for a toy. --- I've done well, I can afford it.

Why do you need so much horsepower just to drive around town? --- Clearly, you've never driven a high performance sports car, have you?

Looks like you're having a mid-life crisis. --- Hey, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Most of these people are just jealous, but can't admit it.

It's just other peoples way of saying "Nice Car". I just smile and say that "it's my baby" and they always smile back.
