Got talked into a test ride today in a 2015 Corvette convertible (don't
ask) at a dealership while I was waiting for something else and was
impressed and disappointed. I was impressed with the car's get up
and go
and its cornering abilities...very nice. I was disappointed with the
seeming hugeness of the car from the exterior and the relatively tiny
passenger space inside. I was disappointed with the garishness of the
interior, and the fit and finish of some items. I didn't like the seats
all that much, and I thought the car rode, well, hard.

The sticker price on the car was $80,000. Dunno what it might sell
for...

Be this has what to do with boating?

Hey it is an overpriced chunk of fiberglass, with an oversized engine,
sold to people with an over riding desire to boost their self esteem.
Sounds like a lot of "performance" boats they sell.

I've been in and owned a good number of two seater sports cars, but this
new Corvette was the first one that I thought was "boatlike" in terms of
size and visual impact. If you are spending that kind of $$$ on a sports
car for a "fun" driver, you can do a lot better, I think.

And, of course, it's built by a failed car company.
