For some reason Torch Red is my favorite color, especially when it looks wet.

You know I've often thought about a subject for a thread , it's title would be...
If you would not have joined the Forum how much money would you
Have today .....
I see it as needing something else to do , I enjoy the ideas and the vendors here, the Vette is not a Mustang which I have one moded completely ..at very affordable budget .. But not the Chevy , it's a big boys toy ...for the people to say that a c5 is very affordable right now , then I say to you , 20,000 to 25,000 wouldn't touch mine .....
