[QUOTE=RCK1999]O come on "lil lady - you know this will get all the guys going on this forum.



Of course, that is as much our responsibility as theirs. If we guys could go on an all ladies forum and garner a good deal of attention from the gals, wouldn't we do the same?

I'm calling a truce, not trying to highjack her thread. I was just busting your chops anyway! I hope everything works out for the two of you!

Pic doesn't matter to me. I'm just glad to see another lady that's into Vettes! There needs to be a LOT more.

My sweetie is getting really involved and I almost have her talked out of her Porsche Box of crapster!

I'm sorry to inform you that pictures of unmarried boyfriends are not permitted to be posted on this forum. The reason is that it simply distracts us from fully enjoying the pictures of you. (We do request just a few minimal pieces of clothing to keep the mods at bay).

Attention the forum: who's in Kansas????

Welcome to the boards. I own a C5 and a 01 L, and when they were both stock, the truck was faster on the strip. Also, just fyi, there is not an "e" in Lightning.

Bob, do you remember when we were dicussing women drivers? I still have the same views. Any woman in a Corvette is a danger to man kind. They just don't know how to drive and should be allowed nothing faster than a VW. And to think she actually went to 115. Damn scary.

It just doesn't seem right, and to think she was a little scared at 115, I think I would be :o

How old are ya Bob? 5 There always has to be one on the board, huh? If you don't like women drivers, especially in vetts, stay the hell off the road. I stated that i had only had the car to 115 & it was kinda squirrely. I'm just not use to it yet. Your not one of them truckdrivers that like to stay right beside when i'm driving down the road, just to get a glimpse are ya??
