Not all Corvette owners are the same. Some will clean their engine with a tooth brush, store the car in the garage all winter and hand wax the car once a week, while others will drive their ‘Vette in any kind of weather and clean it maybe once a year. We have a feeling the driver that drove this 2014 Corvette Stingray into a waist-deep body of water is the latter.
Maybe he thought the water wasn’t that deep, or maybe he took the Stingray part of the car’s name a little too literally. Either way it looks like this ‘Vette has swallowed up a bunch of water and was left to sit in the water until a rescue vehicle could pull it out. We’re not sure what they were trying to accomplish, because it appears like the road is closed off on the other side anyways.
So let this serve as a warning to those potentially clueless Stingray owners. That moniker doesn’t mean it can slice through the water like the Stingrays found in the ocean, Chevy’s Stingray is a land-only creature with a specific diet of high octane gas and European sports cars.

Dumb-ass…
Nothing like taking the ‘vette out for a swim. Dumb ass for sure.
Well, the Hyundai Tiburon (“shark” in Spanish) could be worse:

This goes under the heading: “hold my beer and watch this”.
Did wonder why one would name a sports car after a stinky fish.
So many cool animals out there – maybe Mustang, Impala, Fox, Raptor, Super Bee and Viper were already taken – there are still many sleek, aggressive, predatory examples left. No reason to go for a pancake shaped fish just yet.
“stinky Fish”? watch the attached.
It is a beautiful, powerful being. Love being underwater with them. Silky smooth skin.
