Default Re: 1990 ZR-1 #1322

I have had a ZR-1 for 25 years.

I cannot recall ever feeling that my car was ever disrespected by anybody.
There was that C-5 Z06 that thought he would leave me in his wake way back on 02, but he quickly became educated about reality.

Low-balling happens regardless of which collector car you have, or for that matter, with any car.
Low-balling works because some sellers actually take the silly offers.
Me, I just smile and say, I'll take two more at that price!

If someone does not like or appreciate my car, that is their problem, not mine, as I really do not care what they might think.
I like nearly all cars, even if they are not cool. I just like cars.
I taught my son, back when he was 5, to never say anything bad about a car out loud, but rather wait and talk to me about it later.
I have met many, many grown ups who just don't get that simple rule, and feel compelled to voice their opinions of other people's cars, many times not knowing or maybe caring, that the owner is in ear-shot.
It's not my place to fix their stupidity, although I have over the years, told a few that my son knew better than that when he was 5.

ZR-1's were special to me from the beginning.
NOTHING will ever change that; Nothing.
But that is just me.
