Default Most difficult decision

Every morning I have to go to work and make this gut-wrenching decision! I'll even try to justify how it would be okay to take the car and not the truck! 😁

I feel your pain!

I have to make that tuff decision too. C7, truck or Hayabusa, but due to OC 405 fwy bumper to bumper traffic on the way home, I just take the truck.

I used to choose between my Vette and our SUV every morning. Our neighbors son actually used the Vette as a weather forecast! He figured out that if he heard me start the Vette (in Track mode, of course) the weather was going to be nice.

Ha, me too. But my decision is a little more complicated..

Caddilac performance sedan -vs- Vette -vs- Dodge 3500 -vs- Crown Vic

...in order of how it usually goes on average.

For questions such as this, I remind myself that life is short. Live every day as if it's your last. Take the Vette!
