A game similar in style to Slug Bug. The difference is that upon spotting a corvette, one says, "Corvette Pet," and proceeds to pet the head of the nearest individual in the car.

Get the Corvette Pet mug.The idea that a parts vendor will charge more for corvette parts than they would for similar parts made for another vehicle due to the illusion that corvette owners are wealthy. See also, BMW Tax and Mercedes Tax.

Get the Corvette corvette mug.1984-1996 Corvettes. A car I thought was cool until about 1988. They did not age well. This was apparent well before production ended. They aren't fast. Almost all are automatic transmission and have reliability problems as well as novelty digital dash cluster that stayed years after everyone was over the fad.
I've seen several 84-88s for 2500 dollars and less as far back as 1994. Unless they are pristine and low mileage you can't give these things away. Just sitting there with 2500 on the windshield for months. Decent 1996s are 8000 and no one is buying. Very low mileage examples have owners wanting 11-18k. At that point everyone knows you can get a similar condition C5.

I beat a white '87 Corvette C4 in a non-supercharged '89 MR2.
Why did you get that Corvette C4? I'd gone with any year before getting one of those.
Your C4 Corvette has the same stock steering wheel as my S-10 and a digital package like my grandmas Buick!

Get the Corvette C4 mug.4th generation of Corvettes built from 1984-1996. As of January 2009, it is probably the best bargain for stock performance in both 0-60/quarter mile speed and suspension performance.
Vehicle was powered over those years by these engines: 5.7L L83 (Crossfire motor), 5.7L L98 (TPI (Tuned Port Injection) motor), 5.7L LT1 motor, and the ever so rare 5.7L LT4 motor (all are in order with release dates and the amount of HP they put out).
The 80's manual transmission Corvettes were supplied by a Doug Nash 4+3 transmission (4 regular gears, the top 3 supplied with an overdrive gear). The TPI motor with this transmission was rumored to top out over 200MPH.
Was the 1st Corvette generation to combine sleek, hatchback styling with clean HP and torque and Digital gauges in the dash.

John: Yo son, that's a clean ass Toyota Celica turbo, what you spend on it?
Ron : Yea, 30 G's and this shit hit a 14.8 quarter at the track. My shits ill.
John: Yo kid, i just copped a 1986 Corvette from this 52 year old dude for $5600 and I had an exhaust system and headers done for $3k and I ran a 13.8 in the quarter. Corvette C4 FTW. You're retarded son.

Get the Corvette C4 mug.A small penis. Basically describes the genital size of the owner or the perspective owner of said car. Generally, the owner or of the perspective car seek the Corvette to overcompensate for their lack of bulge in their pants.

Get the Corvette Dick mug.A person that buys a car to make up for some other lacking feature. ie, can't afford a real race car, or needs to bring special attention to himself. Females are not applicable to being a "Corvette owners" as they actually enjoy the ownership of the vehicle not the attention that it brings. A real corvette owner will not drive in the rain nor drive if rain is in the forecast. Rain will melt a corvette owner just as it melts snowflakes.
At the traffic light next to me was a corvette owner. 2019 White nice looking car. When we took off, I heard the car stall as he was not proficient with a manual transmission.
