Won't you buy me a new Z06?
With apologies to Janis Joplin and to Mercedes Benz, I submit this song about the Z06.
Oh lord won't you buy me a new Zee Oh Six
My friends all drive Mustangs, they all act like hicks
Worked hard all my lifetime, my life has no kicks
So lord won't you buy me a new Zee Oh Six
Oh lord when you buy it please get one that’s blue
The cops never see it, you know that is true
I’ll fly down the highway, just praying to you
So lord won’t you buy me a Corvette that’s blue
Oh lord won't you buy me a car that can’t lose
8.3 in the quarter, just lite up the fuse
If anyone beats me, then you buy the booze
Oh lord won't you buy me a car that can’t lose
Oh lord won't you buy me a new Zee Oh Six
My friends all drive Mustangs, they all act like hicks
Worked hard all my lifetime, my life has no kicks
So lord won't you buy me a new Zee Oh Six

Re: Here's a challenge!
Thanks Jerry,
I challenged another unnamed forum to write second verses for red, black, silver and white Z06s. There was a good response by yellow and silver, but no verses exist for red, white or black cars. Is this forum more creative than the other one? Jerboa, seeking poetic talent :yesnod:

Okay here is the thing about Z06 owners. You guys already have a breath taking race car...so while us C5 guys are working hard at building up our cars, you guys sit over here writing songs and talking about air bag stickers :lol: you guys make me sick...I want a ZO6 :lol:

Re: Won't you buy me a new Z06? (RCswish)
You could write songs about C5s. It is nearly a full time job managing a Z06. There's the fuel, fuel management, fuel sensor replacement, oil consumption, driver consumption, subcategories food and alcohol, (well some don't worry about food), dealers that discount after you buy, GM discounts before you buy, wives, husbands, lovers, and significant others. We even have to check our tire pressure. Believe me, being a Z06 owner is fraught with problems. As best I can tell the only worry for C5 owners is column lock. I'm really struggling to deal with the day to day, week to week, month to ... issues of owning a Z06. It's a tough burden, but I do it for the ...speed! jerboa, loving my Z06!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Red and Black owners fail!
Alas and alack, it appears there is not a smidgen of poetic creativity in owners of red or black Z06s. You have all failed the class so I'm sending you back to repeat English Composition and Introduction to Poetry. As an example of what you could have/should have done I offer these variations on verse 2.
Oh lord when you buy it please get one that's red
With new active handling and super wide tread
An American sports car that turns every head
Oh lord won't you buy me a Corvette that's red
Oh lord when you buy it I want one that's black
A car with great handling the best on the track
With precision steering, that's pinion and rack
Oh Lord won't you buy me a Corvette that's black
Any questons from the student body?
jerboa, poet at large :D
