I think George Carlin was talkin' about us Vette owners when he did his standup routine relating to "Insanity",,,,,, "Whats the passing grade?",,,,,,,,, "What's 70?",,,,,,,,, "How nuts are you if you score a 69?",,,,,,,,, "Are the folks who got a 68 much worse off than the guy who got the 69?"



I really miss George. He was my Presidential write in for today, but then he died this past year.

Were you boys gentle like with her or did you use her and abuse her :o on that first date ?



Ya gotta remember these Vettes know there are plenty of "Sugar Daddys" out there, give them the best of everything aftermarket money can buy, even climate controlled garages. And all they have to do is sit and be a pretty 'trophy car'. Makes it tougher on some of you to make a lasting impression especially with your anxiousness to just 'get it on' with them, heck did you even bother to check they were even properly warmed up ? At least 160 degrees before they are ready to safely 'lay rubber'. Can`t just enter her and go crazy.

Right then,

Cheers

Guys, I feel the same way. Just knowing it's in my garage is a rush and so is driving it. I love my coupe. Thanks for the post.
