I didn’t get ANY tickets or have any trouble handling those cars. My brothers and I were all gear heads, so it wasn’t like I was the average 17 year old. I had been driving my grandfathers 3 on the tree Rambler since I was about 12. I see a lot of posts talking about wiping out in a C5. I think we have a lot of drivers around here that just don’t know how to handle a powerful car. Those cars I had when I was around 17 were pretty powerful, and I was just a kid. I managed to always keep it under control and never lost it.
I guess I got a few chuckles here, which was my intent.
Happy motoring, and be safe,
Steve

The mother proceeded to tell the teacher that her daughter was not illiterate because she was married the day before her daughter was born!

Once every 10 years is enough, because we think that teeth are overrated anyway.
You are so right! I think it is much more convenient to let my teeth soak in a glass all night then to have to spend all that unneccessary time brushing! Plus, it gives me more time to study my spelling lessons.

I could have put this in off topic, but it would have just blended in with all of the other nonsence down there.
Glad it made for some fun
