Whenever I take the vette for a drive (long or short).*it makes me feel like I'm 20 again. Can't beat the smile off my face.

I could drive around all day in my car with no place to go...I can even get lost somewhere and not care cause all it means is im going to drive longer...not many car owners out there can say that.. and to think that people say cars are the worst investment ever....i have to disagree..corvettes give you more than transportation but a feeling that I just cant explain and so much for the money...
