'Vette vs. Boxster vote: The results are in!

Sunday June 15, 2008

2008 Chevrolet CorvetteHappy Father's Day! Earlier this week I asked you to vote on which is the better car for dad -- the Chevrolt Corvette or the Porsche Boxster. I said I'd post the results at 12:01 am on Father's Day. Well, it's that time, but the results have been pretty consistent for most of the week: You chose the Corvette over the Boxster, 60% to 39%. (Don't ask me what happened to the extra 1%...)

As promised, I'm going to update my list of the Top Ten Cars for Dads, replacing the Porsche with the Chevrolet -- but that will have to wait until Monday. It's now officially Father's Day, and I've got a whole lot of relaxing to do! -- Aaron Gold

I don’t know about replacing the Porsche with the Vette…how about replacing the boooooring Altima or Sebring with the Vette. I can’t think of one dad I know who would even think of looking at those cars, unless his wife had something really bad hangin’ over his head!

Has either one of you ever driven a V6 Altima. I can tell you it is anything but boring. For a front wheel drive it corners beautifuly too. The people who voted picked the right car.

Sorry, guys, the Altima and the Sebring stay. Why? Well, first, becaues Harris is exactly right… and second, because I’m the dad, and I say so! :)

The masses may say what the correct choice should be and in this case that makes it so. However, it doesn’t make it true. Where is the exit pole? I stand firm against the Corvette. Also recently I rode in an Altima. Eek the family man needs to stand up and demand more. I was disappointed.

Wrong seat Kyle. Try the one with the wheel in front of it. It might make you like both the Corvette and the Altima more.

Aaron, my computer still shows the Boxster on the list instead of the Corvette. Do I smell a conspiracy here? Something deep and Machiavellian? :)
