I've never been to a Leaf game.

You have any pull for another extremely frustrated lockout fan.
Would love to see a game when the **** is settled.
I can do some picture framing for you as trade.
Once the lockout is over I can get you some leaf tickets, since you are a vette guy and not a douche.

There are two different C&D rears. The one in the mag and the one on the web. But you don't tell us which one is closest to the truth.

Imo Keek's renderings brought a lot of value to the forum. Even if he did tease a bit not answering questions directly at first it didn't really bug me. But then again, I'm not one to try to steal the spot light

The cad drawings are the closest to the truth. Renderings are artistic impressions only ....... Of the CADs.

You can judge which rendering is closest to CAD as well as I could.

That is all I have to go by.

Was that prompt enough?

The Internet spotlight is very bright, if I may be facetious for a moment.

I totally hate the new one on the web. But I think I like the CAD. I could even love it, but it's hard to say because of the angle.

The way I see it... with all the C7 haters, tells me that my C6 will increase in value just in time for me to pic up my C7 in August.

Yes i put a deposit on a C7 last month.

Hearing repetitive IDENTICAL comments is boring.

Want to count up how many people posted, " hey it looks like a camaro"?

I love talking vettes and sharing anything I fortuitously came across. That isn't boring.

Boring is saying something 1,000 times...hence this post.

Do you understand the distinction?

Perhaps if I type slowly you can understand.

I can stand the boring climate. Get great joy studying lemmings.

I am having fun as well pointing out distinction.

For instance, I enjoy all the back and forth and intelligent commentary.

When I have Honey Boo Boo's second cousin repeating something others have said a million times it turns into a drinking game.

Every time someone posts anything related to a camaro from here on in I am going to take a shot of crown royal...

So troll, you too can go stfu
Thanks for all the info. And take a break, dude, you've lost your cool.

No worries, not upset at all.

I live to bait and test trolls. It allows me to pull out all the polysyllabic words to confuse them.

When I tell them to stfu it is not in anger, like when you spank a child. Just necessary, unemotional.

Yeah, I'm a little gassy myself...

I haven't heard anyone use that term for a while. It's a gas...it's bitchin'...

Speaking of bitchin', that is quite a nice little collection of rides you have!!

Have you shown the renderings of the rear to your wife? It sounds like she has a say.

That would be great!

I am hopeful and certainly open to the idea that when I see it in person I will fall in love instantly like I did the C6.

The CAD images were good (though limited in scope) and I'm expecting it to look more like that. Those C&D images were just a bit caricaturish and some of the proportions just looked bad.

Her first reaction was that she thought it looked like a Camaro.

She also suggested that I must be collecting all these corvettes to compensate for something...... Said something about Phallically challenged. If I get time today I will have to google that.

I just want info on the colors! I love everything else I see. Pearl White is a must for this car after seeing some of those renders.
