Default Corvette is MERICA!! Especially the 427
This is my 427. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My 427 is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My 427, without me, is useless. Without my 427, I am useless. I must race my 427 true. I must drive better than any enemy who is trying to beat me...


watch this!! ---> https://vimeo.com/122612874



enjoy...

Full Metal Jacket "this is my gun" quote, douche bag. Watch it sometime. Save those super funny comments for Dodge or Fords forum.

Its actually been recited by Marine recruits waaaaay before Full Metal Jacket came along.

Every Marine must memorize this creed. And, every Marine must live by the creed.

Lighten up! I konw the origin of the quote and in a combat environment you would sleep with your weapon hence my comment. Rule of thumb: When you start a thread with hidden and or double meanings look for the same in the comments.

I love the 427, that's my ultimate car/Corvette goal. Someday I hope. They are all that, I understand your excitement. My Corvette never lets me down either, it puts a smile on my face whenever I see it in the garage and I just have a base!

Your right, Sorry for the douche bag comment. Life gets confusing when you sleep with your car.

Nicely done 427 video!

But, I'd have to believe only old jar heads and ground pounders would get lumber from the recital of that dopey I-love-my-gun 'poem'.
