I don't know which is more disgusting, being seen in Motor Trend, or in one of them funny little furrin' cars. Guess he just wanted to taste the "other" side. Let's hope he comes back to his senses.

Indeed! Who is that handsome man in the yellow Z not "Oh" 6? It appears as if Hair,Makeup and Wardrobe must have spent a tremendous amount of time on this Chap. Are those designer Sunglasses?I must say he looks rather smug and self assured. Notice the hands at the 10 and 2 O'clock positions, was he coached? Have I seen him in "yella" before?

These photos will no doubt go down in the annals? annels? *****? of Photo Motor History.


Hey I'm just jealous................. You go Stano!

In keeping with the tradition that yellow is faster, prettier and looks the best on the new C6 Z06, I opted to drive the yellow "other Z" ...although the Mustang was pretty impressive ( got to drive that too)
When the new C6 Z06 comes up for testing, guess who just might be behind the wheel...

I'm looking at it right now and all I see is an Old Fart with a receeding hair line. Looks like someone photo chopped his hands to the steering wheel..

Actually, Nissan is attempting to "woo" potential Corvette buyers to look at the 350Z...the receding hairline is a "photo chop"
