I guess I'm bored with the vette now.I love the car but thinking about getting a jeep now for the wife and me something I can drive in the rain and don't need to pamper so much.
Anybody own both here?
I want a stick shift bad.
Maybe if I had a 6 speed vette I would not be bored of it.
I will have to get 9 K for it in order to sell it or I will just keep it.
Do you guy's think I can get 9k easy?

 

depending on the mileage, you're probably in the ballpark.

Keep the Vette and find yourself an old soft top Wrangler. I bought one a couple yrs ago on ebay for $1800. Put some bigger tires/ shocks/ little garage job paint and had a blast in it. Kept it for a year and sold it back on ebay to some guy in Kansas for the exact $ I had in it. (saving for the C5)

 

Well my friend, allow me to address all issues in a line item fashion.

1. Get the wife the Jeep, and keep the Vette. Vettes don't melt in the rain, nor do they get butt hurt if you don't pamper them. They are actually tough as nails. I beat on mine like stepchildren, and they forgive me. Yours will do the same.

2. Yes. See Socal's post.

3. See Below.....

4. You've already solved your own problem. Good job. Change titles, and get a Vette with a standard transmission. You will lose the boredom factor. It will be replaced my an achy leg the first time you're stuck in heavy traffic.

5. Good luck. I'm not doubting your car's value....just keep in mind that we're in the middle of a depression, and the Great Messiah isn't fixing it as promised. Nothing is selling for what it should.

6. Define "easy".


You'll miss the Vette if you sell it and don't replace it with another. Don't worry, we're all that way. Find the wife a nice daily driver jeep, keep the Vette and stop worrying about getting it wet and enjoy it, drink a couple of Fat Tires in my honor, name your next pet after me and call it a day.

Damn.....I should charge for this stuff.....

 

I have a vette and a jeep.

I don't think the jeep will thrill you any more than your vette if you are actually considering selling it...

Good luck with your decision...

 

Also have a jeep, but if your not into some serious offroading don't bother, it's just another vechicle.

 

It all depends on where your true interests are. Only you can answer that! Price wise? Who knows anymore I certainly don't but FF makes valid points.

 

I've owned both. Each have their ups and downs. You think the 'Vette is boring? The "new" wears off a Jeep ten times faster than the 'Vette. (just my opinion)

 

We can do #1 and #2 at the same time and not have to deal with the pooperscooper.

#3 is all in the marketing baby!

Can't speak for keeping or selling the vette, but if you get a jeep, the Wrangler is the way to go to have fun! All other jeeps are just transportation. IMHO (since we're on our 6th jeep.)

 

And now the official beer of El Paso

 

Do you have Jeep trails around Odessa? BTW, where IS Odessa?

 

I love it! However, having a dog on the label might give customers the wrong impression about what it tastes like.

Damn skippy muh brutha. First round is on me.


20 miles west of Midland....just look for the oil rigs....oh....wrong Odessa.

 

Just don't drink too much...

 

I have the slogan for this new frizzle frakin' beer "after a six pack you'll hump anything"

 

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread. My advise, KEEP THE VETTE!

 

Six, ol' Frizzie will hump anything with a pulse

 

Just don't drive the vette as much and you will not be bored or like you said get a 6 speed.

 

I don't think of handguns when I see this in the store. We will prevail as the Premier Beer of Ol' El Paso

 

 

Marketing is everything.
Pepsi is being sued in a Hyderabad, India city court in a public interest litigation for glorifying child labor in a television ad. In the ad, the Indian cricket team is in a celebratory huddle when a young boy serves them Pepsi.


Gerber, the name of the famous baby food maker, is also the French word for vomiting. It becomes a bit limiting when you go global... Gerber is therefore not in France, and although Gerber has a French site it says "Les aliments pour bébés Gerber ne sont disponibles pour l'instant qu'aux États-Unis" (French for: The baby food ain't here, try the U.S.)

In 1988, the General Electric Company (GEC) and Plessey combined to create a new telecommunications giant. A brand name was desired that evoked technology and innovation. The winning proposal was GPT for GEC-Plessey Telecommunications. A not very innovative name and not suggestive of technology and a total disaster for European branding. GPT is pronounced in French as “J’ai pété” or “I've farted”.

Waterpik uses another name in Denmark. "Pik" is the common Danish word for male genitals. Most Danes can easily translate "water" to the danish word "vand". And "vandpik" is a term for the morning erection.
"And you put that thing in your mouth?!?!"

In Germany, Latte is a well known word for an erection. So, "morning latte" is when you wake up in the morning with an erection! The word "break" means "destroy", so taking that "morning latte break" is destroying that erection. I'll leave the details to your imagination, as well as all the puns on how you take your steaming hot drink.

Ford's Pinto didn't do well in Brazil. Pinto is Brazilian slang for "male genitals". Ford renamed the car the Corcel, which means horse or steed.
Note 1: If it were my translation marketing department I would have renamed the car "Dear God, I hope my gas tank doesn't explode!"
Note 2: "Pinto" is reported all over the web, along with this story, as meaning "tiny male genitals" or a "man with small genitals". According to Luiz Pryzant, it just refers to "male genitals".
