BS is indeed right. I'd take that to court. Entering the interstate which has a 70mph speed limit doing 35mph (the road you just left) is nonsense. Back in the 1900's when I took driver's ed, I was taught to enter at the speed of the traffic.

Honestly, this attitude is foreign to me.
I bought a Z06 instead of Camry so that I could go wide open throttle, body pushed into the seat, engine roaring, gravel-splashing, ripping past the 370Zs and boxters and mustangs. I try to slide the rear out on corners when I can, and I'm not very good at it.
I have a 3.8 mile commute to work through city streets, and even then, the only thing that keeps me from going WOT in between street lights is the fact that the oil temps haven't warmed up yet.
But I respect that vette drivers come in all types and each serve their purpose: those that always garage their vettes and never go WOT are basically keeping their vettes nice for me until I buy it from them.

2. Do you wear a Mr. T starter set (gold chains)?
3. Do you put a model of your car on the intake at car shows?

I have opened up in a '69 427, '00 Convertible and most often in a '93 40th Anniversary. I do not do it very often for fear of getting pulled over or getting in a wreck. I do it when the situation is right and I am not around other traffic. The feel of the road is astonishing in the Corvette's.
I have been on a track once and I would like to do more of that!
Enjoy but always be safe!
