Rick's car is classy and well put together. This monstrosity is gaudy and ugly.

I thought older ricers were now the target market for Lexus, judging by the garish front end treatment that their new models have.

That red Vette under hood view looks like something got slaughtered in there.

To me it's amazing how well Rick's car looks and to some his might be over the top (I Love It) this one is a little extreme for my taste but I never thought I would see more RED than Rick's

Financially comfortable old ricers are into 'Vettes. Rich old ricers all have GTRs.

Wow....that's a show car...never intended to be street beat. But I do appreciate the money and effort the owner invested in it. I could not devote that much money to mine. I do tip my hat to anyone who loves their Corvette that much.

I also appreciate the compliments towards my car....Thank you all.
