when I see an ALL STOCK VETTE the first thing I think of is NICE....BUT no creativity, no PERSONAL TOUCH ?:confused:

then when I see LOW MILES, I think what a waste of high performance....sitting there gathering dust. :cheers:

sometimes I think people who buy a hotrod and let it sit without use should be put to sleep......why WASTE THE PERFORMANCE !!!

Performance should be UTILIZED, DISPLAYED, BOASTED,
Tires should be smelled not dry rotted....hehe.


ROD IT MOD IT SUPE IT DRIVE IT

You’ll have to explain where you are going with this.

If you are referring to my ’68 then you are talking about a car that was virtually untouched before I bought it, and I drive the hell out of it when I’m not doing some sort of restoration work. As far as customizing a 61K mile numbers matching original… I’m not stupid.

If you are referring to the white roadster that I posted then you are WAY off base. That is not a Corvette, but it is very similar to what I’m going to build after finding a suitable ’68 or ’69 convertible body to work with.

L8r,
DJ

hey DJ (63Banshee),

I wasn't referring to any of your rides......I was referring to general public...
I guess I am not a money geared person.....I am a money blowing individual to you I bet....I don't wan't an untouched vehicle....I want a ride that represents my own touch, interest, pride, creativeness, originality, maybe even
one that says how warped your mind can be.....

do you want to drive down the road and have someone say....o yeah...I got that SAME car in my garage too.

I live life everyday and my tires show it, my mods show it ......If you crashed your car the next time you drove it, it wouldnt matter if it was original or not...
IT WOULD BE HISTORY !

and if you say cause of insurance, cause of value of what its BLUE BOOKED, they only look at your car at your first initial sign up....not after every time you MOD IT .....

I want ORIGINALITY not ORIGINAL:sleep:

ORIGINALITY = Creativity
to me original = normal, blah, same as the next off the assembly line
....anyone can buy one off the assembly line....but after that what you do to it....no one can exactly copy you unless you tell them EVERY LITTLE DETAIL you did to it !

so I requote my moto

mod it, supe it, drive it, no :bs

that's MY OPINION !!! and maybe only mine...

and I am entitled to it, no one else has to BE !
:rolleyes:

HAVE FUN !!! :cheers:

WHAT EVER YOU DO WITH YOUR VETTE,,,AT LEAST DRIVE IT
and NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER REGRET IT......

life is to short to dwell on the past decisions....
