I expalined it to her like this, "See Honey, you know they made just plain-jane standard, slow Camaros and then they made high-performance Z/28 Camaros? Well Corvettes are the same way. They make plain-jane slow ones and high-performance Z/06 models. So you see, I've got a slow car. That's why I need to buy some mods to help it out...or go buy a new Z/06 for $65k."
Long story short - she ain't buying it.

There was a 40% sale at Goldsmiths and all she spent was 300 bucks!!
Hmmm, this is called "Fuzzy" Math?

I'm just saying that because Corvettes encourage their owners to start working on cars themselves, that saves money. If you turn around and go blow the money you spent on a new high-performance hood seal, it's not the Corvette's fault.

I didn't say it was free. I said it saved money.
