Default An all out obsession

Wow, It seems that every single time I see a corvette a huge discussion comes up about it. I was in class today and I looked down and I had drawn the 50th anniversary logo(which actually looked kinda cool). It's weird, but I'm DEFINATLY buying a C5 when I grow up . I also need to save up a little more and work the stocks so I can get my vette faster I'm gonna keep my dream rolling and just get that degree .

Someone else told me when I first got here that eventually after being here for a while it would turn from an interest to a passion to an obsession and apparently he was right

I know you'll get that vette soon lil' bro, but I gotta ask.....why is your SN "Supra" in a corvette forum? Did you have different dreams before you got here? If, so, I'm pleased we turned you around!
