1977 Chevrolet Corvette - Delightfully Incompetent

 
 
Not our house nor our trees
 
Would you rather be beautiful (and dumb as a plunger) or highly intelligent? In this little exercise you can't be both. Nor can you even be a little of both. It's one or the other. You're either beautiful or brilliant. Hmmm.
 
 

 
Increase your coolness factor exponentially with your teenage boys by getting an old Corvette
 
Most intelligent people would say "smart" if for no other reason than beauty fades and "smart is forever". But what if, with proper maintenance, it didn't fade? That you could be super good looking forever? But again, dumb as dirt. Well, if you're inclined to appreciate unsolicited attention, being treated special for no other reason than you're good looking, have people hate you for being attractive while others treat you like a moron because they just assume someone as good looking as you can't be intelligent, well by all means have at it. Personally, being gorgeous and dumb sounds like a blast because if I'm that dumb, would I even realize it let alone care?
 
 
Love at first sight.
 

To celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, my wife and I purchased a lipstick red, 1977 Chevrolet Corvette last summer (it was cheaper than a trip to Hawaii). Just like that we became instantly better looking and stupider at the same time. And we couldn't be happier. This elightfully incompetent "sports car" is one of the most fun things we have ever done for ourselves. This ding dong of a car can't do anything right but its a BLAST to be treated like rock stars whenever we go out for a drive in it. Keep it between us that it's not fast, can't handle and moans, groans and creeks like the 36 year old nimrod of plastic wreck that it is. Does performance even matter when you're this good looking? Honestly? No. It doesn't. Sure looks like it could fly to Mars, don't it?

 
She's still waiting for the trip to Hawaii btw.
