Default Holy Crap Batman!!

I was driving up the highway today and saw a new Yellow C6 up ahead. I slowly, yeah right, moved my way up to his position and the first thing I noticed as I pulled up next to him was the gold rope license plate frame on the rear. Then I saw the raised bump condom cover steering wheel wrap. Okay I still had hope at this point but as I pulled up next to him, hope went out the window. There, before my eyes, it can't be, Vinny Friggin Barbarino. Flowered button down shirt, gold chains around his neck and a pair of those gold Elvis glasses. Okay this alone is pretty comical, I would even dress up like this just for giggles, but as we pulled up next to him he pulled out a fresh Marlboro and stuck it in his mouth and with a gold plated Zippo fired it up in his new, no plates yet, Yellow C6. We should take a collection to buy his C6 from him and have it crushed just to put the poor car out of its misery. I know, I know!! Free country. It's what I fought for, but please make the pain stop

I've owned a Corvette for 9 months now. Yesterday I saw a guy with a big flashy gold watch, and I had an urge to trade in my Casio G-Shock for some gold bling. Oh, oh.

Wow, that was close. If you told me he had chest hair showing that would have sealed it and mine would have been for sale tomorrow. His license plate didn't say Larry Dallas did it?

Vinny is cool, and obviously has somewhat good taste. He's got too much bucks. Did he wave?

RC51 - You have got to get a digital camera and be ready for him on your next drive. Maybe we can create a BOLA in your area for all CF members in case they spot him.

Even if I had a camera, I was so awe struck I probablly couldn't take the picture. It was like looking in the eye of the beast, I felt cold all over and then I momentarily blacked out. Thank God my co-driver grabbed the wheel and brought me back to reality

Well I'm assuming she was riding shotgun with a housecoat on and curlers in her hair?
