Honestly, I’d be in the same boat. I get anxious just leaving my car in the shop for a day, complete voluntary seperation would pretty much be off the table. Luckily if Fiat were to ever try to buy back my car, I’m pretty sure the welded-in roll bar would disqualify me.

Amazing, but those are clearly ball bearings, sir.

Mine’s 19.5 unless you throw in my husband’s car with brings it down to 14.333

I don’t commute, I #housewife.

I like the “just go away” bit. Crusty old bastard is crusty old bastard through and through. I’ll miss laughing at his idiocy, but hey, those of us with boobs now have a chance to be F1 drivers. Well, not me, I would need to have skills first...

I am a C3 owner. So long as the Corvette in question wasn’t a particularly pristine example, I’m not pissed.

You can trade it, but you can really only trade up. I went from catching flying bits of metal and wood in front of 1000+ people to racing. Same feeling, just amplified

Well yes, but only under specific circumstances. Those circumstances not being Monday mornings trying to get to work. Terrible cars are fun on the weekend when you have the time and energy to enjoy them, they’re less fun when reliable transportation is actually necessary

Having money and toys is all well and good, but adrenaline and a competitive streak are not things you can just sit on. If you’re hooked on that, you’ll at least give returning a very serious think and likely go back.

I’m the same way in my C3 Vette. You become accutely aware of how nonexistant the safety tech is on it. Then you look around and realize your head is perectly at bumper height to the pickup next to you and there’s eff all to protect your head other than some glass and the halo. Suddenly you want as much distance as…

I’ve seen one around town here a couple times with the same guy in it. Once at the mall and once on the freeway

That made me cringe too. Luckily it looks like the barriers were *relatively* soft and movable

I have to admit, I’ve always had something of a soft spot for IROC-Zs. I can’t even put my finger on it, but to this day, there is something kinda white trash cool about them.

Not a bad song to have stuck in your head, or outside your head.

You shoulda seen how many people we’d get sitting on the roof, hood, and trunks of cars post marching band practice in high school. Ain’t nobody wanna walk the whole way back across the parking lot after that.

I’m honestly a little surprised. Rumor in the marching band world is a fair few schools are turning down the gig, so the parade could be a bit light on marching bodies. A handful of military units could help shore up the numbers.

Well by this same logic, nobody gives a rats anus how fast a Chevy Equinox or a Honda Accord can do 0-60, but it still gets printed. So what if it’s a dick measuring contest that means virtually nothing, it is with the vast majority of cars on the road anyway.

I just laughed waaay too hard.

Honestly, don’t worry too much about the loss of many of those cars. It’s not like Hollywood shops around for actually nice examples to destroy. My in-law’s business sold XXX the “bridge jump” Corvette, I’m told they bought it cause it was the cheapest available C5 then they resprayed it and flung it into the void. In…

I know $kay’s gifts are supposed to be for the boys, but damn, I might just have to steal her from you guys.
