But, hey, hang in there with that paper route, and you'll get that Corvette some year.
Did you ever finish ruining that frame you cut up? How bad did you twist it with all the useless welding?

The C4 suspension cut 140 pounds off the car. It's been to a couple of speed events so far, and I'm tweaking the swaybar rates to get the balance I like. The car runs great, and all that aluminum suspension looks sweet under a C3.

Keep saving your paper route money there Skippy, and maybe someday you can also know what it's like to drive a fast Corvette.

Bosozoku, eh? Unless there's a fuel line and spark plug plumbed/wired in you'd be a BOZO to even be seen in one (although I must admit I kinda like the pedestrian/cow catcher front "spliter") /:\

Buy a new what?

Ya know, your jealousy is getting old. Just 'cuz I got a damn fast car, and you don't, doesn't mean I'm amused at your junior high rantings. Here's some advice. Go out and buy or build a fast car, then maybe you can get rid of that chip on your shoulder. Until you've got something to compete with my car, STFU! Your crap gets old, and it's rarely clever enough for amusing reading.
So, until you've actually got a Corvette, go annoy your buddies on the skateboard forum.

bye now
