a 2016 I've had about 17 months now.

It replaced this 2006;

My 92 C-4

So I suppose I have been trying to compensate for something for quite a long time.

Either that, or I just simply like them because they are fun to drive.

Naaaah...couldn't be that, could it?

As a funny aside, when I take the one I have to a store, I leave it outside, parked off in a corner. If I get any reaction at all, it's little more than a friendly "Nice Car".

So I suppose I can handle the insinuations that men that buy Corvettes must be compensating for allegedly having small dicks. It never made anyone turn around and leave a coffee shop, however.
