As to the question of a favorite Corvette profile, for me it would be the C-2, aka 58-62, the C-3, aka 63-67, and the C-4, from 68-70. I know C-4 goes to 72 but the last two years were when they started to look a little clunky with all the safety crap that was starting to get introduced. Kind of like the 68-71 Novas; nice lines, but the 72 and later got the goofy bumpers.
I suspect that one sign of being excessively OCD is when you go to the extreme of mentally cataloguing how much or badly you hate someone. That type of exercise is not one that I am prone to indulge in, with one exception For me that would be R*l*h N***r for whom I have a particularly nasty form of antipathy. Between him and the national highway safety-crats, they took a lot of nice designs and destroyed them. It makes a person wonder just how many proposed models never made it into production because it would have been too expensive to build in the level of safety that the bureaucrats were demanding.
Don't get me wrong, that little blue go faster in the above posted pictures has nice lines and is built to fly, but how much of what it does is due to direct driver input and how much is dictated by what the computer software thinks is appropriate?
Not immediately relevant but drove a 22 Yaris last year and the biggest hassle was getting the car to approach the car ahead of it sufficiently close enough to make passing a simple exercise. The proximity software drove me nuts because it kept slowing the car down which is exactly what you don't want when you are trying to pass and you have a string of cars running in the passing lane who are not running at the limit, they are using the limit as a guide and motoring.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed your cruise time.
