Not a fan of flat anything. I like shiny color paint and chrome wheels, but all that matters if he likes it and gets compliments. You cant and wont please everyone.

I was kidding. I drive a C5 Z06 and I love it. I think it is one of the best looking styles ever. I was just making fun of the situation because so many vette owners put so much **** on their vette's that it's a crime.

You are correct. I let him use my black wheels for now. The car is nasty loud. It has a 383 stroker with gas and Borla straights. The car rolls the hell out. 10.5 sec 1/4 mile.

Your reply make no sense what so ever. Re-think and try again. Here's a little help, you said a eleven year old car is ready for the junk yard, nothing about mods, bling, etc. BTW, you might want to check out the 300k thread when you have some time.
