I love you guys!!!!

I get answers and entertainment at the same time.

Now I'm thinking maybe my Vette is an L98 and I just didn't know, although my son always said it was, how would I know for sure. It has complete ground effects and air dam, and different seats then the standard 89. Either way, it is SPECIAL to me. Thanks! Bet

That reminds me of "Ferris Bueller's Day Out". I think that Ed Rooney (principal) drove a K car in the movie.

That he did.

And somebody had scribbled on the back of the school bus seat "Rooney Eats It".

The guy that played Mr. Rooney is a registered sex offender in real life.

Holy s***. This needs to be re-posted in the random section of the forum. Everyone needs know of this. I'm going to watch Ferris Bueller right now and it will never be the same for me EVER AGAIN!!!
