Default "just Bad A$$!!"

This is the second time I've gotten this.....no other way to describe it I guess

The other night I was out washing my mirror black 02 beauty with chromies and Z06 brakes and a couple neighbors came out and started gauking at my vette (kind of like I do everyday ) when after talking about it for a half hour one of the guys says........man your car is "JUST BAD A$$".........that pretty much summed up everything we were all sitting there talking about.

Anyone else ever get this?

It's amazing how me and my neighbors can just sit there and stare at it for so long.

I don't know if I like looking at it better or driving it better....

I have owned mine for nearly two months and have loved it since day one of looking at it!(The previous owner treated it as if it we're a $600K Ferrari Enzo )

There is always a smile on my face when it fires up.

These are great cars.

Yup, my previous owner did the same, he even had some nice chromies put on for me and the vette was flawless when I got it.

.......talk about happy ever after.

I get lots of comments in parking lots, thumbs ups on the interstate, gawking people as I drive by, etc. It's pretty cool to have a car coveted by so many.

Nice looking ride, btw. Black Vette's are AWESOME!
