Tick.

I had two fairly naked girls out spring walkin give me a shout out last Sunday when I was filling up...they thought the big GS was pretty sharp....of course my liberal use of the mostly gray Hair Color For Real Men might have been the clincher too

I don't need the extra performance of a Z06 in my DD so could not justify the price/cost increase, extra insurance, engine/valve issues etc in a car I am not going to race. I think all vettes look good and when I pass a slim body I do not think any less of that guy. I am sure he is just as happy as I am or a guy driving a ZR1. To look at it in any other way is d....ce baggery. That is my .02 worth.
I couldn't agree with you more. Very well said1

Yo Karen, you're right, I'll edit that. Guess I was thinking about 17 minutes remaining.

Glad you won first prize.

What is first prize you ask? You don't have to marry me.

Have a great drive!

Ya, that statement makes a lot of sense..."I'd take a narrow body every time."

Then I'll..."set it up right (i.e. lowered, blacked out lights, zr1 wing, different wheels, ect) looks bad a$$!"

Duh, why not just buy the Grand Sport in the first place and look "badass", right outta the showroom?

Hence if you were to catch the hint.....I was talking about the two pics of the girls....Duh!

Oh, I am sorry, when you talked about,"lowered, blacked out lights, zr1 wing, different wheels, on a narrow body," I thought you meant a car.

Had I known you were into all that kinky stuff with women, I wouldn't have made such a foolish comment.
Btw, where do you put a ZR1 spoiler, and wheels on a women anyway?

Does it hurt? Do most women do that willingly?

When I bought my new '09 coupe in Fall of '09, the '10 GS had just been introduced and was starting to appear on
dealer lots. The base price was about $5K+/- over the standard coupe, and I understood what was included for the
same (all worth the add'l. cost, IMO).

But at the time, the discounts & rebates available on the '09 netted an actual purchase cost of $10K less,
due to no discounts/rebates on the new '10 GS. So I bought the '09 coupe, because I couldn't see paying
$10K more for a car that only cost $5K more on the sticker...

...sometimes it just comes down to perceived incremental value at the time of purchase...

Now that the 200 post goal has been reached and the friendships restored, can we get a moderator to please close this thread, so it never comes back again?

In fact, if you're not careful, your remarks might be considered as being racist, which I know you are not.

Simply because our president has uttered a few lies for the good of all of us is no reason to demean his intent.
