Default Hey Scorp,,,,,,,

You have been over EVERY INCH of your '87. When the day comes, and it WILL come, What will you buy next?

Another '87? A late model C4? C5? I am curious. You like to wrench. I personally wouldnt touch a C5. (Minor tune ups excluded) Too complicated

He has already pondered the thought of a C5, thankfully(for now) he hasn't been talking about it. Besides I can't let him get one before I do, it wouldn't be right!

Next for a sports car, or car in general? For a sports car it really depends on what I need it for. Lots of driving, or little? I really really want to get a '90 ZR1 or a Callaway Twin Turbo before the prices start going up again.

I'm on the fence about C5s. Some days I love them, others they are just "eh ok" to me. I might wait for the next one. :) I dunno. I have to get outta debt and get a place to live first. :cheers:

my wife and father had the same conversation the other day with me. My dad is a professional mechanic (no really he is) and wants me to sell him the car when i am ready something about making it a hot rod (he is 57)
I told them i would for either a ZR1 or a LT4 but not a C5. like scorp said, sometimes i like ones i see and then there are days they are just "alright"
I really would like a convertible GS......
