That's rather like asking what constitutes obscenity. The answer is, "I
know it when I see it".
Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart used that highly appropriate phrase in
his concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 U.S. 184 (1964). He wrote:
"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I
understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never
succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion
picture involved in this case is not that."
Ergo, C-5 and C-6 Corvette....
Mike (loves the '63-67 Stingray--now there is a car with some visible and
aural soul!)
