WTH is wrong with this Corvette Owner

I have seen this setup a few different times while I have had my skis at the river. Why? Are you going to do a 120 with your ski on the back?

Can't afford a truck?

although in some ways I can see the pont. you can always unhitch the trailer, but something slow is forever

I agree. I'm not a truck guy myself. I'd rather rent/borrow a truck than own one.
I'm not saying I'd put a hitch on a Vette, but I certainly would on my turbo Focus to avoid buying a truck.

Lemme see...

Corvette:

Better gas mileage
Better brakes
Better handling
Better acceleration

What's the issue?

**billyNOTnice** · 07-30-2012, 05:00 PM

I think that's probably the coolest thing ever.

**yeahloh95** · 07-30-2012, 08:09 PM

all vettes should have hitches

**Sonic03snake** · 07-30-2012, 11:06 PM

Just bought a hitch for the shelby, just got to figure out how to cut the bumper out tastefully.

After the last ride home I saw you driving in, that might be a good idea!!

We put one on my buggys 90 gt and had to do the same thing. If you take your time and measure it will turn out nice. He hauls his bike behind his car when he takes them both on vacation lol

Why do people act as of a vette is the holy grail of cars? I don't see a problem here at all. Its a vette....not a mclaren f1 or saleen s7. Sheesh.

**95riosnake** · 07-31-2012, 10:11 AM

He probably decided the trailer hitch was a better alternative to this method:

Ahhh. An 86 si. That's a pretty bad ass car there. Those things were little rockets.

Never understood it either. Only reason I have one is because it can't be beat for the money performance wise, if one more old guy driving a Zaino'ed Corvette that has never been over 70 mph waves at me I am flipping him off...
