My day
Started off crappy driving my Stratus to work, then I paid the mechanic 2900 bucks for the repairs to my vette during my lunch break and drove the vette back to work. I drove it home and there is a bus load of school kids and in the back of the bus some girls waving so I wave back, then just now I go to the store on the way back a car is to my left keeping pace so I shift from 5th (47 MPH) to fourth and give it about 80% throttle more to let the engine roar. Then I slow back down to the speed limit (45) and the car changes lanes and starts to pass me on the right and in it is a 20 something attractive slim doing the smile and wave. My C5 may be 7 years old, have a few miles on her and cost me a lot in repairs every now and then I still love this car!
For the record I have Lloyd's floor mats.

Had to be the Lloyds that the slim was so excited about.
Too bad about the repair bill, but the day wasn't a total loss.

My Car has a Tan Interior but it is black with gray racing stripes so I got the black mats with silver emblem.

Nothing like a good looking woman smiling at you to all of a sudden make things a little better.
