Talking Had fun today. Car guys will understand.

In 2007 I bought a brand new corvette convertible. I drove it for 5 years but ended up selling it in 2012, needed a truck more than a 2 seat car.
Not many weeks have gone by that I have not missed it. I have never been real sentimental about vehicles, but this one made it's mark.
Today I drove the exact same color, same options Atomic Orange Convertible around for a while. 2 years newer, but it was like I had never gotten rid of mine.
This one is a bit more raw than mine, the LS3 has about 10% or so more hp and torque, it actually idled like a cammed big bore slightly.
So if any of my good friends have a bunch of extra $100 bills laying around they do not need, cant find a home for I am trying to round up about 3 1/2 stacks to get this car

If I win a lottery in the next few days I will put some pics up, it is a beauty for sure.

Identical to this, forgot I had saved this pic from Oregon

Would you drive this at exactly 100km/hr in a 100km/hr zone?

It is a bit of a banal choice. If I won the lottery I'd be buying a W.O. Bentley 8 liter...

0 speeding tickets. 0 intentions of getting any now too.

If I ever won money it sould be a very minor win. I did get $12 the other day.
If I won millions and millions and millions yeah, it would be a far different story.

You are a role model worthy of emulation! I would undoubtedly loose my license behind the wheel of a quick, little thing like that.

Nah, the gas pedal is not an on/off switch, it is a potentiometer

Ugh, Ive been having the car want for a couple days now. Been on the "build and price" thing for a ZL1 Camaro for a couple of days. 650hp / 650 ft.lbs would be so much fun. Wants...needs....ya know.

I owned a Z06 for five years, I never received any speeding tickets either, but I am not going to try and convince anyone that I never exceeded the posted speed limit.
