A Corvette typically is for someone who has extra funds to have a car that is not practical to own.

The same people who don't drive Corvettes, usually ALSO do not even drive a Camaro either.

My guess is if you have house payment, family, kids, car payments for normal cars, life insurance, credit cards, and especially if your kids go to a private school...

I would assume there is not much funds left to buy something like a Corvette.

It's not even that the car is a 2-seater. Each tire probably costs 600.00 and needs to be replaced after 4000 miles.

I do not even want to imagine what happens if one of those tires drops into a big pothole. You can't expect a corvette to survive the kind of impacts that a full-size truck will survive.

It is just dangerously impractical. And it DOES sit very close to the ground. I doubt you can successfully drive over certain kinds of speed bumps without scratching the car.

And again, it has those magnetic shocks. It's probably a pain if it needs to be towed.

If I was rich I would have one but I would just drive it around the block and park it.
