I've always wondered what a PISSIN' CONTEST was anyway. Is it:

(1) For distance?

(2) For accuracy?

(3) Volume?

or..... all three (TRIATHALON)???

Yup Charlene, I feel your pain. Thing is, now thay we've spent all this $$ on the Vettes and we own these beautiful cars, NOBODY feels any pity for us.

The worst for me is the winter and the car is covered and not used until spring again i get so lonesome for her.And you are right people donot understand the feelings i have for my car sounds silly but i think of my car as a person when i get upset i go down in the garage and talk to my car.she will listen when no one else will.

I understand not being able to compete with the Z06, but why not the 'vert?

Default That Viper is a HOT car!

I saw a new Viper on the freeway a couple of weeks ago...could not identify it from behind....the rounded out features and those huge rear meats that they run on the back. I like the looks and performance, but I still would prefer the Vette....it will always be the classic American sportscar....
