Default What is it?
What is it about driving a Vette; it does not matter if it is new, old or in-between. Is it the ride, handling or the feeling you are in one bad a$$ machine. Or simply stated all of the above. I have driven lots of nice cars but nothing like the Vette. I get the same old analogy from my Wife “I think you wanted that car more than I did or you love that car more than me”. Is it a drug or does it affect the same region of your brain like being addicted. AHHHH!!! I guess I’m just crazy.

You're addicted, but not crazy. Enjoy, we are all in the same canoe.

The looks, power and the heritage. I grew up around 'Vettes and knew I was going to have one someday, like my father.
