There's snow, ice, and cold weather out there, and my Vette is under a cover and I can't drive it for probably another 3 months. That is enough to give ANY of us an attitude!

You should see the Pontiac bastard on my carport. You think C4s have it bad, try building a car that was only produced for 6 years.

A Fiero? I wanted one of those when they were still in the concept stage. When it finally came out, I was a bit disappointed so I kept my $ in my bank.

GM hates us because our motors were not designed & built at a GM facility, and the fact that Lotus used a design that they were already using & said.... "See, this is simple, right? Y'all get it, right? 4 valves = more power, and DOHC = no pushrods = higher reliable rpm's. Nuff said?"
