Default Gray Haired Drivers

Ok, we went out downtown last night, and on the freeway we passed three other C6's. Here is the deal, they were all being driven by men with gray hair. I don't care if your hair is grey, but so far this has been all that I have seen in four months.

Your car looks good all in silver; mine is (will be when it gets here) all black - because after all BLACK IS THE FASTED VETTE OUT THERE

I own four cars and 75% are silver, if I could have 100% I would. The problem is, I was not alive in March 1971 to place my order with MB in Santa Monica...

some things just suck.
