    All this talk about the little Prince!

    I think the Corvette is way more disappointed than he is!

    Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis

    Just bought a brand new Corvette

    Although his home was once part of the Axis

    The Chevy wasn't that hard to get


    But now as he sits there

    in the car for which he was once enthusiastic

    his expression is a blank stare

    because the dashboard is acres of plastic


    Well, welcome to our world little von Thurn

    We've lived with this most of our lives

    And this car you can't return

    So just twist the key and see how it drives


    First gear will make you forget

    any issues you have with the dash

    By third or fourth you will let

    a smile replace those teeth you did previously gnash


    And once you are finished

    park it and never drive it again

    because while your disappointment may be diminished

    you look like a douche bag, my friend

    German prince driving an import.. and not just any import.. but a f'cking chevy.


    That's gotta go over well with the plebes..


    That rates right up there with say, John Force driving a hyundai instead of a mustang, or the president driving a prius instead of a ford hybrid..


    Hope he has a big ole Jakegasm and paints it up with the stars and stripes just to really PO the german society ranks.

    I know inherited titles are expressly forbidden by the U.S. Constitution but I'd gladly trade this prince for that one. Although both seem to have a thing for Corvettes.

    The prince himself looks as if he wasn´t kissed enough by the princess and still remains a bit in his Rana Ridibunda stage.

    In New York he would be in charge of the Taxi and Limousine Commission, and at most he would be a Director, not a prince.

    Perhaps he's sad that monarchy ended in Germany in 1918, and with it the authority he might have been born in to, and instead he carries an empty title that reminds him of the class system that no longer exists. Or it could be the Chevy interior.

    @SirNotAppearing: Side note. Two nights ago I was dreaming that I was about to take a ZR1 out on a track. I was sitting in the car (dark blue, thanks for asking), the engine was on, someone was taking a picture. And then...my wife's alarm went off. Dammit.

    @SirNotAppearing: Thank you for clarifying. For a minute there I thought "German prince" was one of those made-up phrases, like "Ramma lamma ding dong" or "Give peace a chance"

    With a name like Taxis, you'd think he'd be tolerant of sketchy interiors.
