After about five hours on the X-Ways and North Georgia winding roads (including a couple "full boar" runs from a roll with traction control on), she said "It's a good thing these things are expensive, ...after driving one - everybody would want one".

All kidding aside, you should have seen the look on her face when she hit-it from a 50 Roll in second: immediately after her head bounced off of the head rest and she managed to close her mouth that is - you know, ...right after her eyes regained normal size.

I think we now have a new Corvette Fan.

Now you've done it! She'll probably next tell you that driving the Vette is better then sex, now you're a two count loser.

Seriously... I've let friends both guys & gals drive my C6, as long as they know how to drive a stick. I figure, share the joy. It really is quite a rush to drive; I'm sure you'll agree. But the people I call friends would never attempt to manipulate me by witholding certain things as you suggest in order to drive my car. And what makes you think that guys can't cook anyway? I'm relatively certain that I could outperform you; especially on the track or in the kitchen! Hah!

But what you are saying is that, after we get our 'Vette, I might get the keys back to my Powerstroke, right? if I can keep the kids out of it.

That is TMI, I'll just take your word on it! I'm tring to draw a connection here, vetteman22 lives in Cypress, CA. and you're cypressvettegirl, are "yous two hitched" or something? Living in Nashville now I know about the winding roads of Kentucky, if that's where you learned to drive you gotta be pretty good! You may outdrive me but you won't outcook me and if we ever bump into each other at a museum meet you'll see why.

Try a canyon blast through Malibu or Angeles Crest Hwy early on a Sunday morning, (the only time there is no traffic). Those roads will get your attention.

If you know the roads of Kentucky, then you also know that if I am a G.R.I.T.S. then you also know that I can cook...Anything from the world's best Prime Rib to Roadkill...LOL...

No we're not "hitched"...(been there, done that...both of us that is)we're just boyfriend/girlfriend...maybe one day...If I agree that is...I wish I had met him 30 yrs ago...But God I'm CRAZY about him...how could I not be...He's the best!!!!

And for all you West Coasters...G.R.I.T.S. = Girl Raised In The South

The look on husband's face when I say, 'You wanna drive?' is priceless.

I'd liken the look he gives to my dogs' expressions when I say, "Wanna cookie?'.

Dang, this is the finest automobile I have EVER had the pleasure of driving and owning. I just can't hand the fob over.
