If it's ok to say Vette why is it wrong to say Maro? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This is why.

Maro, chally, cammy all lame. Sounds like my eight year old talking. I also ate it when people call my trans am "tranny". Vette is okay because no matter who you say that to everyone knows what your talking because it's cool and it's more like another term for the corvette rather than just an abbreviation. Unless your a car guy and I'm not sure sure that most of them would even know what the hell your trying to say, most people are going to look at you like you should be wearing a helmet and holding your crayons when you say any of those lame abbreviations.

What about Chevy as a shortened version of Chevrolet, funny how GM is trying to get away from that term.

If I remember correctly, Corvette is an Italian battleship class.

The bowtie design was stolen from a French wallpaper design.

I hear this is the last year for the SS Camaro. Getting away from the SS name and going to start spelling out Super Sport because people are confusing SS withe SS Waffen of Hitlers Elite Army. Gotta be politically correct in this day and age.

That's funny you mention that, a friend has been trying to advise me not to get an SS tattoo because of that reason. We live in a sue happy world where everyone has to be extra careful not to offend someone.
