Default How about you?

OK, first of all I just found out that I paid the stealer way too much for my "broken in" Z. , second of all, the road conditions around here SUCK!!!! , thirdly, the gas is too dam high, fourth, the cops are always hawkin' ya. With all of this going on at the same time, I can on occasion find a little piece of the road where I can let my Z be a Z and I can hear the engine express itself, and not have to ride around in 6th gear. Do y'all have the same stress reliever that I have? I just want to know.

Wow... too many negatives... In my 6 years of vette ownership, I have had many instances where a single ride was worth the price I paid for the car. Traffic, roads, gas prices are things we deal with everyday no matter what you drive.. It's more fun in a vette and it don't cost much more than some boring generic sapository looking vehicle.
Sounds like you need to visit a road course... then there will be no doubts.
Don't look back on the price... enjoy what you have... no regrets.

Missle, welcome back!!!

We don't own these cars because of their economics. We own them becuase they are some of the best super cars ever built pound for pound. Look at it that way.
