I always felt Fred had a great distinct voice.

What am I looking at?

Here's a successful leader...

The new Elvis cartoon on Netflix is pretty fucking cool.

But he was listening to the white people voices in his head, so.... Still white people's fault.

Meh...

No way! You can't improve on this!

Over the course of my life I've considered a few different vette body styles to be my favorite. When I was a kid it was felt that the current body (c3) was inferior to the legendary c2- except for a very few special editions (l88... l88... l88..) I saw one Saturday 66 big block, red with a white big block stripe, convertible with a white top, knockoffs and factory side exhaust.. I was grinning from ear to ear and followed him for a few miles until it started to get awkward.. BUT... a 68 bigblock with that huge hood scoop and the narrow chrome bumpers and those sexy front fenders... MIGHT be just as good...

HOWEVER...

I've come to the conclusion that currently (and possibly for the rest of my life) the c5 is my favorite vette. It just checks every box. It somehow gives a nod to every styling feature from each previous bodystyle with elegance in a way that could never be possible with any future versions unless there are RADICAL changes at the chevy styling dept...

I was at Michigan International Speedway the summer of 1983 watching the Michigan 500 Indy race. They had the first c4 vette on display there that I ever saw. It was a radical bold change that really polarized people. I was immediately impressed. The way the top of the tire was exposed when the hood was open... The huge and wide (for the time) tires... An ultra-modern design that still somehow captured and displayed the essence of the "vette"... But I could really understand where the nay-sayers were coming from as well... "boring"... "looks like a door wedge"... They softened the edges as much as the design would allow over the body style's 13 year run but when they finally came out with the c5 it was like GM was listening to exactly what the people loved and hated about it and created the perfect vette. This was the last of the elegant understated vettes; everything from there out got more and more gaudy and more and more less like a vette. Heck... the current vette doesn't have either hideaways or round taillights AND they put the motor at the wrong end...

But this... THIS is perfection....
