Default ...Do we need a mistress?

...I mean a 'mistress car'() , a second toy to work on, mod and drive to have fun...? Or is the vette enough car to play with?

I would love to have another toy to play with. But for me, I think it would be another vette. I like camaros and chevelles and GTO's and might like one of those too.

You can never have enough toys. Besides the 71 project car, I have a C5 coupe, a C5 convertible, a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic and Vtx 1800. Oh, and we don't count the GMC or the toy hauler. As for the "mistress" issue, well one is still never enough.

Hello,

I have several corvettes to play with, and it seems as if they all have some type of problem that I dont seem to have time to get to. Its as if they are jealous if I spend too much time with any one of them.

Or maybe I am just too attached to them.

"IF" the RT project ever actually gets paint on it, yes, it'll be black. My world may not be very colorful, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. Oh, the VTX is black and the HD is black pearl over black cherry pearl. Mistresses so far have not been.
