A Cojón For A Corvette: Man Proudly Proclaims “Worth It” After Loss

What's the biggest sacrifice you had to make to get your dream Corvette? What would your custom plate say?

Would it be worth it for you?

We frequently hear stories about the sacrifices enthusiasts had to make in their lives to get that dream Corvette. Perhaps it was waiting until the kids go off to college, working two jobs (raises hand), or maybe you lived under your means for decades and saved up for when the time was right. There are many “traditional” ways we can think of, but one South Carolina man made lemonade when life and an elderly driver handed him some lemons.

In case your Spanish is rusty, a cojón–commonly known under the plural cojónes–are our jewels. I’m sure there is a tasteless joke in here somewhere, but I’ll leave it up to Reddit for the cracks, and there were many when user “Glaneon” recently posted about his ordeal on the popular social media site. Today’s Corvette Culture feature raises many questions, the most obvious of which is this.

Would it be worth it for you? The plate on “Glaneon’s” 2016 C7 Z51 Stingray.
