You should put a Corvette sticker in your window to show your true colors!

Stick a Corvette emblem on your Rumble Bee.
Duane from American Hotrod/Boyd Coddington has one in his Chevy 1500 truck.

The only way I will let this slide or even come remotely close to accepting your apology is if you race your wasp against the car in "My Signature" and beat it. If you loose, then you must leave this forum and never look back.

BTW, we're racing upto 60 MPH only!!!!

Good luck!
