Got a minute? Step outside on this lovely summer day and give us a pic of you and your C4.
I got a desperate call from the boss to work at the clinic today. Trouble is that it is very slow today and I can't take any more of listening to the nurses gripe about their husband's and boyfriend's bad habits.
So here I sit getting overtime and incentive pay to surf the Forum. Somebody's gotta do it.
Here's me and my 87. I took this last week as I just joined the North Texas Corvette Club and they needed a pic. I live in Michigan but was born in Denton. Maybe I can make one of their meetings some day.

Actually you now have the ideal opportunity...to observe the female in her "natural habitat", i.e. bitching about guys with their girl friends.

Observe and learn young Luke; then use the characteristics to gleen out the chaff from the wheat.

So should I follow their advice? Don't drink, golf, fish, buy Corvettes or Harleys. Don't pass gas, comment on their weight or stay out late.
Do the dishes, laundry, yard work, car maintenance and mow the lawn.
I'm sure there are more.

Good lookin vert! If you happen to cut your finger, burn yourself or have a tummy ache then come visit. I'm at the Spectrm Urgent Care Center on Broadmoor till 8 PM.
By the way, yesterday I was at the mall just West of the big Grandville Cross Roads Mall. There was a full team of 20-something college girls washing cars for charity. Forgive me for not remembering the name of the business as my eyeballs were fixed elsewhere! I'll bet they are still there today. It is worth what ever you want to donate and it is close to your home!

Well you will likely find one or two who do not bitch about their BF/Hus; notice the basic characteristics of those vs the "bithers".

Once you can recognize the sweet ones from the majority your hunt is easy. That, young Luke, is your lesson.

I'm gettin a red X and Nurse Betty is starting to purr here lookin at Frank and his car.
Edit: She wants to know what the numbers mean on the car's window. I told her that he guarantees at least 13 min of 4play. I took an elbow in the ribs for that one.

Hey thanks for pointing that out. I have know for some time but I am thinking about some new wheels and haven't wanted to spend the money getting this fixed. Maybe if you guys hound me enough it will shame me into doing it. But I doubt it.

I don't think the wheels are big deal.
There are some here that prefer them the way you've got them.
