Man we wish. Im sure plastic is still easier and cheaper to produce. An all carbon edition would be awesome tho.

Five to ten years down the road, I predict Corvette bodies will be carbon fiber. It's getting cheaper all the time.

Pity driver's licenses aren't harder to get, but I guess without stupid drivers the malls would close and taxes would go up.

C5Natie, I've been doing some detective work. I think I found who hit your car in the driveway!

It is a problem but how do you stop it? It's not much different than people playing with their stereo's, but it does take more of your attention away.

Make the fines big enough to get their attention. It is more dangerous than adjusting the stereo. People texting are just as bad as drunk drivers. Had I not been driving defensively I would have been in a head on collision with a texting fool.

Im in between these two tires. Toyo proxes r888 and michelin pilot sport cups. Both are great but the toyos are a bit cheaper, at least $80 a tire. Opinions? Car will see some street but a lot of canyon roads and some track days. Not overly concerned on treadwear.

The one on the left looks cool, the one on the right looks like it's worn out from an alignment problem. You wanted an opinion..
