Ace-Garageguy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I don't really understand the first photo, and I really don't see anyone over 15 years old wanting the second one (the mods on the first one must have been done by a 5-year old). BUT (big but) the more I look at the C7, the more I like it. It's as though my mind is tuning out all the un-necessary stuff and focusing on the really fine proportions and overall shape.

BUT (big but) the more I look at the C7, the more I like it. It's as though my mind is tuning out all the un-necessary stuff and focusing on the really fine proportions and overall shape. The "Dragon Vette" (top picture) is a C6 Corvette whose owner has subjected it to a series of horrible mods over the last several years. The evolution of this monstrosity has been chronicled in blogs like Corvetteblogger.com and Jalopnik for a few years now- here's a link to one of the Jalopnik articles: http://jalopnik.com/5509630/worlds-worst-custom-corvette-supercharged-update I guess this photochop represents DragonVette 2.0!
henry57 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The dragon vette is here in town where I live. I used to see it all the time, haven't seen it for several moths though, maybe he's redoing it. The last time I seen it the paint was at least an inch thick. The guy who owns it is a pharmacist.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 The guy who owns it is a pharmacist. That's just downright scary.
Austin T Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 So is it supposed to be bad looking on purpose or does he actually take pride in it?
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Now now, remenber we live in a PC world today where everyone gets an 'A' just for trying...or even just for showing up. Nah.
henry57 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) So is it supposed to be bad looking on purpose or does he actually take pride in it? He's really proud of it. I've heard he attended a local art school. The car has a supercharger on it, it makes around 600 HP. Edited January 26, 2013 by henry57
James2 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 The guy who owns it is a pharmacist. That explains it, must write his own prescriptions!
Chuck Most Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 It's a shame that Corvettes only exist in myth and legend....
Jantrix Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Give the guy a little credit. At least it's not covered with every bolt on you can find in your local Pep Boys.
henry57 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Give the guy a little credit. At least it's not covered with every bolt on you can find in your local Pep Boys. Yeah this is much better,
Jantrix Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I mean credit for at least trying to be creative. Edited January 26, 2013 by Jantrix
A.R.C. Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 He's really proud of it. I've heard he attended a local art school. He may have attended but I dont think he passed.
