suk it newb. No one "looks" at you. What year is your Corvette again ??? Do you still live with your 'rents ?

there are sections for non-Corvette owners and for those not in a position to purchase one ... it's called "other cars" and "off topic".

Haha, wow, be careful of my hair when you whip out your large e-*****!

Your post says all anyone needs to know about you

I'm actually in college, in my own apartment, making something of myself; seems I've got one up on you there

Get what you want, not what we like. I personally like an auto and own one, but if I went out to get another one, MN6 for sure.
