My dad has an early C3 with an LS5 and its an insane unbridled machine. Maybe not so much anymore because cars today are so good, but just the loud, unsophisticated rumble of a car that's more engine than body is fun. He had it when I was a kid too so I do like the C3 a lot.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


There is a guy who goes to the car shows around here in a 6 figure C3. 10/72 blower into a 572 BBC with full custom wheels, paint interior, 6 speed manual, billet ford 9”. It is spectacular but you have to wonder if the old guy can really drive it. Will get pics next time I see it.

Probably not the goon who caught a probation for pointing out the tesla driver was a sex pest instead of the goon that originally posted the video, either.

Depends, did you initial the box accepting their $35/day all perils insuance? Or did you just assume your credit card insurance would cover it? Oops, $2000 deductible.

I believe imagined is talking about the rental company having liability insurance to pay for the damages done to the parked car.

The person who has the parked car should also have insurance coverage for that. It's gonna be the standard multiple insurance companies suing each other.

Yeah, same, everything other than the exterior appearance might be garbage but I still love it. Someday I want to own one and put a ls in it but I'm sure I'll buy it, gut it, and then probably do nothing else.

E: maybe I can buy someone else's project so I can achieve the same effect without the effort.

I was commenting more about the big wheel/low profile hate than the C3 itself.
Honestly, the C3 isn't *terrible*, certainly not for the time it was made. I still wouldn't call it a sports car, just like I wouldn't call the current one a sports car, but it was definitely a *sportier* car than most other GMs of the era.

Early chrome-bumper C3s are alright, but then again I've never been much of a Vette guy. I'd say the one we're discussing here could use more rubber, though. I mean good for that dude for making custom wheels, but they're probably an inch too big.

C3s in general have definitely grown on me, but those wheels and tires just don't work... but I also think 3/4 of the people I see driving around with aftermarket rims/tires look horrific.

But people like different things so :shrug:

That Corvette is awesome. The wheels are awesome. C3s look awesome, but, sadly, most of them don't have the performance to back up the looks.

The interior of the Vette looks great too.
