Default Added second Vette this weekend!

Can't stand it any longer! Thought the wife would post something by now (she thinks it's hers) but I'm tired of waiting. Traded my Jeep for a 1974 L-82 Coupe this weekend. It's red with a saddle interior. Runs and drives great! Don't know now if I'm a Corvette guy or a guy with two Corvettes! :confused:

Actually.....I think most of us "need" two or more Vettes!! We just can't afford them or justify them to "significant others", who think a new kitchen or vacation or new minivan is more important!!

Well if you figure that Vettes only run 50% of the time, you need two to be covered :D

So which one drives better, the 68, or 74?
There's no comparison. The 68 is a big block, 4 speed car with no power steering or brakes. The 74 is a small block with automatic and air. Power everything. Which one would I rather drive? My 68!!! :D

I think you're a "guy with a Corvette," a "Corvette guy" and a "Guy in trouble with a :cool: wife." I suggest dinner out and flowers. :lol:
