Was just reading some comments on another site about the song "3 Dimes Down", and someone stated something that I've never thought of; the song has a major plothole.
Corvettes don't have backseats.

Re: Flaw
Didn't the old (like 1960s) stingrays have a half-assed back seat? I remember being a kid and my uncle giving me and my grandma's Newfie a ride in his, and the dog definitely sat in the back.
...a long day of improbable and grotesque mischief

Re: Flaw
Ford's Thunderbird outsold the Corvette by laughable margins from its first appearance in 1955, and when it became a four-seater in 1958, the T-Bird's sales doubled. So Chevy general manager Ed Cole began considering a four-seat Corvette. Saner minds prevailed-hell, even Chevy's sales promotion manager, usually the last guy to object to this sort of silliness, thought the idea stunk, and said so. But as the radically different '63 Corvette neared its debut, Cole had another four-seat prototype built. One day, GM president Jack Gordon was brought by Styling to have a look. He examined the four-seater, and curious about its roominess, climbed into the back seat. But when the six-foot-two Gordon decided to get out, the front-seat latch broke and the seatback wouldn't flip forward. Help! The boss is trapped! Gordon was extracted and lived to tell the tale, although the subject of a four-seat Vette was never revisited.

Re: Flaw
Some more research yeilded that Yenko Chevrolet made a custom backseat for corvettes that would seat three children. Some adult male tried to sit back there and said no way.

"While chicken wing puke eats the candy apple red off the Lexus" doesn't quite have the same punch. So we give Cooley some artistic license here.

How about "While chicken wing puke eats the candy apple red off the Cobalt"?

Yeah but these days the doublemint twins aren't hanging on by a thin belt loop, either. At least i assume they're not.
What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard
