Delivered bbq ribs, chicken, and a gallon of sauce to a party for a resigning DoD official. The looks on the guys' faces when I pulled up in the Vette with bbq in the back = priceless!

I bought my 7yr old son a little 80cc motorcycle. Only had the vette at the time so told the dealer to empty all the gas and lay it in the back of the vette (COUPE). Boy did he look suprised.

And as other have said, 54 mph on any freeway is impressive.

Though it hasn't happened yet, I day dream about being in my vette when a high speed chase starts up in my jurisdiction. Imagine a fleeing felon looking in his rear view and seeing a vette with a cop driving it on his @ss. That would be nice.

I did the snow thing once by accident



never had more than two girls in my car at once. The thing can only handle 425lbs of passenger and cargo.. It might break if you put more in it.
