Price you pay for an EU import in general Even so, I feel like overall cost isn't that much more than domestics or asian imports here. My regular services are generally more expensive, but I only take my cars in every 10k mi.

My friends AMG would ruin rear tires every 5k miles, no matter how gingerly he drove it. Camber setup fcks tires like no other in that car.

High performance tires aren't made for longevity, which is what I'm guessing the AMG requires. I'm sure there are other, longer-lasting options for him. +1 on the camber setups, myself, I don't see the point for them.

Its bizarre and truly unacceptable. You don't see the same complaint with the M3, for instance.

Saw the new Z06 with the aero package while out shopping with my mom. Don't think I've ever seen a car this aggressive looking. i.imgur.com/bcwjkEo.jpg[/IMG]

I love Corvettes. Always have. They only seem to get better.

Totally agree, the new Corvettes are starting to look more and more like supercars.

I have a sort of unusual story about a Corvette owner...
So I am working for a local car show as security/parking and this guy with a brand new 2014 Vette, straight out of the dealership drives in and I naturally go to help him park. Only one problem, this guy decides that he wants to be parked directly across from the Chevrolet dealer at the show, showing off the new Camaro and... their new 2014 Corvette. Now, normally this would be no problem (just a bit weird) but all night this guy is asking me which of the cars I like better and which I thought would get better scores from the judges. WTF? This guy doesn't realize that he has a brand new car almost identical to the dealership? What does he expect to be judged on? This thing is cool, but it sure as hell is not a show car... Needless to say this guy was pretty unique and kind of made me uncomfortable through the night, it was almost like he was feeding off of the vast amount of attention people were giving him for his car. There are some different people out there and this guy was definitely one of them.

The Corvette is awesome.
But there is nothing worse than a Corvette owner. The stereotype is real.

That's actually one of the reasons I don't think I could own a corvette. The stigma is just too much. Same with the mustang.
I'd much prefer to get more of an enthusiast-only car such as an STI or Evo instead. No one drives those unless they love driving. They aren't "cute" and they won't grab people's attention.
If I was successful enough to be Corvette shopping, I would just get a used GT-R instead.

Friend of mine in the local Focus ST owner's club has an acquaintance with some choice vehicles. Figured I'd share.
