That's what you get for trying to do something healthy! Where in the world were you going that you went on a bike instead of in your Vette?

I hope you fell better soon!

Here's the solution: go to Wally World; pick up Corvette racing game for PS2 (only $10, and comes in a twin pack with a drag racing game); start up game and select your year, model and color; finally, take her for a spin!

I feel your pain, 2 years ago had by-pass surgery, I could get in and drive but couldn't get out. Made for some interesting positioning for the wife and not so positive conversation.

AHHHH I see you took your training wheels off

I was in the same boat as you when I broke my right ankle, girlfriend pushed me off a ladder and that is my story and I am sticking with it. Couldn't drive the vette for about 6 weeks.
