Default Back in a Vette
I had a 2014 Z-51 for a 1.5 years, had a girl friend after I bought the car which after we got close in our relationship was a little jealous of my vette due to she thought I used it to pick up women, so I sold it like a dumbass, then 2 months later broke up with me, it took me a little while but I bought this 2016 Z06 used with 1,484 miles on it, it was hard to pass up so I bought it, at first I wasn't to crazy about the stripes but it grew on me pretty fast.
And that's my 2015 2500.

Moral of the story: If a girlfriend is jealous of your Vette, get rid of her not the car.

Enjoy that beauty.

Always remember, your car is part of you. If a woman can't accept your car, she can't accept you. Never give up a car because the woman doesn't like it. You're better off without her.
