I think this is turning into an obssesion do you guys do this?
None of us are normal, but don't worry about it.

At lunch I use to take the vette out during lunch on Hines Drive. 2 lane road that does not go straight for more than 1/4 mile.
Aways arrive back to work satisfied yet very hungry!!

There are many ways to enjoys a Corvette. I don't want to be told how to do it.

You have been bitten by the bug. You now have that neverending lust for the all time greatest American made muscle car, known as the Corvette. We all have the bug and no matter what we do and how hard we try, we cannot break its spell over us. The bug is likened to a small child with candy. You can't seem to get enough of it, in this case, your car.

We all are obsessed with our Corvettes and feel their hypnotic effect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don't try to break its spell over you. You cannot break free. Thousands have tried and lost. Simply give in to your car's allure, appeal, charisma, fascination, glamour and magnetism. Whatever you want to call it, you've been bitten. The sooner you and your wife or girlfriend realizes this, the happier everyone will be.
