That looks pretty awesome. 

But I'm sitting here, looking at the pictures, thinking to myself "What were the guys with C5 Corvettes thinking?"  I mean, look at all those classics, and then some guy shows up with his 1999 convertible?  Come on!

That white car is a 1953 Commemorative Edition Corvette. It's a C5 with body work made to look like a 1953 'Vette.

It was built by Magna-Steyr. Pretty sweet.

I have to laugh also at how closely the pic of the owner of that car that BimmerM3 posted fits the stereotypical image of your average Vette owner: white, overweight, middle aged, gold chain wearing, cell phone-on-a-holster putz.

Change the cell phone-on-a-holster to a bluetooth headset and you have the average BMW owner...

I see very few BMW drivers wearing "BMW" ball caps.

Only us Subaru drivers who want you to think we drive BMWs, right?

When I wear that hat to parties, people ask me sometimes what kind of BMW I drive.  I usually tell them the truth, unfortunately.  I'm not kidding when I say that there have actually been people who were a little intimidated by the BMW hat.  I think that's a little funny, but that badge carries a lot of weight with it, I guess.

No one cares about the Subaru hat. :(

For $16, you, too, can rock the BMW intimidation factor.  Just don't let anyone see what you actually drive.

I used to have a "Laguna Seca" hat. Very rarely would someone ever say anything about it. When they did, I knew we had something to talk about.

I met my current roommate because I wore my "I am the Stig" t-shirt freshman year.  I know what you're talking about.

They had it at the Atlanta Auto Show in 2005 or 2006. That's why I recognized it.
