Ten Commandments For Corvette Ownership
These were brought down from Mt. GM, and set forth by Zora in ancient times. Most of you old war horses abide by these commandments, but since there are so many new guys around here, I felt compelled to post these again.
Ten Commandments For Corvette Ownership
Thou shalt not loan thy Corvette to anyone
Thou shalt not bring thy Corvette to an automatic car wash
Thou shalt not fail to wave to a fellow Corvette owner
Thop shalt not swear at thy Corvette for it is very tempermental
Thou shalt not cruise on unpaved roads
Thou shalt not pass a fellow Corvette owner in distress
Thou shalt not feed thy Corvette budget grade fuel
Thou shalt not expose thy Corvette to severe weather conditions
Thou shalt not forget to activate the alarm system
Thou shalt not acknowledge a Ricer as being a true sports car
So let it be written...so let it be done

Thou shall not say falsely that another U.S. car is a sports car.
Thou shall not restore a Corvette to look like it just came from GM - strive to make it better.

Re: Ten Commandments For Corvette Ownership (Silvr77)
Hey, I like everyone of them except the last one. I have an Import and I have work done to it, I take it to the strip and I do show it off, I take as much care of it as I would the vette and the quality of parts that go on it are the best. Nissan has great motors, from KA24DE to the SR20DE and to the QR25DE (except for the rods on that sukka!! wohoo thin baby!! :D ) But now there is those ricer's out there though, that have the high stacked aluminum GT wings on a front wheel drive car that doesnt need the down force with the APC euro tail lights, the big can exhaust on a 1.8liter honda civic. It just ruins it for the quality cars!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum! :cheers:
By now I'm sure you've noticed some people get a little jumpy when someone says they own/work on an import. Not all of us are though. Personally I use the term "ricer" in a negative way to describe the guys with wings and fart cans and no clue about how their motor even works... not as an all purpose term for imports. To me, a car guy is a car guy. You obviously have an open mind with a 'Vette and an import and that's a welcome thing.
