Ronnie,
You should quit while you're ahead
I have an interesting collection of "customer" stories assembled over the past 20 or 30 years, stereotyped by car ownership (and occupation). These stories were collected by my telephone sales agents who were of all types, sex, color, disposition, and so forth, numbering in the nearly 100 different individuals.
Of the "memorable" customer contacts (discounting those who were probably clinically insane), I don't think you would be proud of the Corvette contingent as remembered by my staff at two different companies over the years.
That is not to say many or all Corvette customers were bad or weird guys, but the extreme examples seemed to follow a pretty tight pattern.
Watch out if you're trying out stereotypes because one could come back to bite you
