New from Chevrolet

I've only ridden in a Corvette once.  When I was a teenager, a keyboardist friend had one.  He loved it.  But that was the most uncomfortable car I've ever ridden in.  I once rode in a T-Model that someone had in his old cars collection that rode smoother than a Corvette.

Based on the question, I suggest that the one asking thought "BMW" means some kind of Bowel Movement....

I can relate. I sat in one too once and it was the opposite of comfy. Not just sporty-not-comfy, just awkward.

Her name was Patricia, it was the early 80ies and she came from Detroit. She was convinced that BMW, he favorite brand, stood for British Motor Works. She didn't mean it badly. I could never decide whether the injury or the insult content of that statement was greater.

'78 Trans Am? 70s Corvette? They're also-rans compared to GM's most beautiful: the Chevy Chevette.

In the '80s I worked with a guy and we were talking about cars.  I asked what he drove.  He said, "I have a Vette."  After a long pause, he said, "Chevette."

Everyone I knew in Detroit referred to Trans Ams as "Trash Cans"; initially I thought that was their real name and wondered "what a strange name for a car, it must be hurting sales badly".
