Thanks! My buddies are like "bro get a BMW 335! you're only 24, wait to get a vette!!!"

After test driving both (and allbeit, it IS like comparing apples to oranges..) I LOVE the Corvette!!!! I mean, honestly... just pure power and beauty all in one! I can do without the woodgrain trim and thoroughly enjoy my driving experience with the vette!
