Just Buy The Truck

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

I just ran across this ridiculous post on Corvette Forum where a guy praises his neighbor, “Harry,” for using his C7 Corvette as if it were a truck. Seriously, there are photos of all kinds of stuff loaded into the back of the sports car, including a deer carcass, and this is played off like the guy is a hero and some sort of genius. I, instead, view this as akin to the person who tries picking up their sectional couch from the furniture store and hauling it home in their Kia Soul.

Watch a guy crash a rental C8 Corvette here.

Different vehicles are designed for different tasks and there’s no shame in admitting that. Trucks are made for hauling large and/or dirty things around. And while C7 Corvettes do have a surprising amount of cargo space for a sports car, they’re certainly not appropriate for hauling your prized buck home from the forest.

If you haven’t gone deer hunting, just know that deer leak/secrete all kinds of nasty fluids after they’re shot. There’s a reason why people haul them in a pickup bed that can be sprayed out and doesn’t have padding to soak in the stench. I doubt the smell will ever leave the interior of this C7, no matter how much Febreze you dump in there.
