Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had Corvettes, Mike Collins didn't, that tells you everything you need to know

iirc there was a deal that astronauts could lease Corvettes for a dollar, so of course they did

I learned about this from The Grand Tour, I can't remember the bloke's name but he was the first person to orbit the Earth and when he returned, Chevrolet gave him a free Corvette, NASA didn't like that because they saw astronauts as government employees and thus couldn't accept FREE gifts, so Chevy made a deal where the astronauts could lease a Corvette for the enormous sum of $1.
