I've lived and worked and played on five continents. Owned cars and driven in almost all of the 58 countries I've been to - I draw the line in places where folks drive on the left side of the road. Have owned cars in third world countries, have driven Vettes in 46 of the lower 48 states... parked all over... Got 300K+ miles in Porsches, more than 800,000 miles in Corvettes...60K in the Ferrari.

I live on a fixed income of Social Security and Navy Retirement pay - I live about 80 miles from you if you live in Dallas - in the one house I've lived in (rent) that has a garage. It has a '19 C7 and the Ferrari in it... and I'm not sorry if I come across as a 78-year-old dick.
Cool

Okay "chief" as in slang term, not your rank, we get it, you drive your cars.... aaaaaand you're a dick (your words), you want a cookie or prize or something? Did anyone in this thread say anything about not driving theirs? I have had my Grand Sport for a little over a year and am over 20k miles, big deal.... Did anyone talk about parking at Home Depot, etc.... Nope. We get it, it's bad to take care of your stuff, so keep bragging about your amazing feat of 800k miles and parking anywhere, it obviously makes you feel special being you've type that same thing numerous times in different threads, not talking about putting miles on your car mind you, which is kinda funny. Why you or anyone for that matter chooses to be a dick I will never understand, much less on a forum that are supposed to be your brethren but hey it's a free country. Just don't understand it or what it is accomplishing. Anyway have fun at Home Depot loading 2x4's in your Ferrari or whatever you do there....

And the reason I installed two (different keyed) Gorilla dual stage wheel locks on each wheel.
