Uh, did you ask JimmyMack, you khaki pants wearing knucklehead!

Drove it to work and now I get to see it right outside my window. Weather was perfect this morning and looks like it will be cooler here all weekend. Windows down, ZZ Top and boost up. Regards, John

Mike, the Performance Pages deal is really cool. They've taken what Nissan did with the GT-R to a whole new level. Not to mention what Chevy is doing with their Performance Data Recorder. "Excuse me sir, is that a race car?" "It sure does have all them race car gadgets in it!"

Every decently hot car has that crap out of the gate, then the "new hotness" shifts down the street and you're buying them at a discount. Tons of guys got great deals on ZR1's after the first batch hit the lots. Sure, for the guy who just has to have the newest thing, he's take the punch to the...

Given your local, Arizona, you could make some sense out of moving the WRX. Makes it easier than for those in the NE who would pretty much need some type of 4X transportation during the winter months. Always appreciated what Subi did with those and really enjoyed them lightly modded. Regards, John

Salvage, you'd still have a 30 yr old car that will have some issue (major, minor or otherwise) within the next few days/weeks. There is simply no comparison b/w old and new. We can get all romantic about "back in the day...", but to have a new car that rips like this one will, be worry free and...

What else could you buy for that amount of coin that makes that kind of power, be that comfortable, have that much modern crap in it to make a good DD and have a warranty? I can't think of a thing. It's better than "not bad". Whether you like the way it looks, like/dislike the brand, think it's...

There is excellent money to be made in the "buy here, pay here" rock lot scheme. Granted, you're not dealing with the highest level of clientele, but after a short period of time, you can hire somebody to do that stuff. Military towns are full of them and many make a mint. People talk smack...

Very true, but the "bang for the buck" argument starts to lose its luster when you own other cars with much nicer interiors. Unless you use the Vette exclusively as a track car, the squishy dash and wobbly seats really leave a lot to be desired. Fortunately, it looks like they've finally...

TurboTn, I DD'd my C6 GS for about a year, it was very comfortable and reliable. Kook's long tubes and NPP exhaust meant that the neighbors got to enjoy the start of my morning commute as well, win for everybody! I really miss that car and the wife and I have been considering a C7. Regards, John

Excellent story and great family. Where are you on LI? I'm up in Holtsville fairly regularly, would love to get together (without my GN, I don't take it on business trips, just monkey business trips...). Regards, John

Steve, I had to soak my khakis in detergent to get the stain out after the first time we started mine, I love the sound of that thing. Only bad thing was that my batt terminals were way off from factory and the leads were too short. Wound up dropping coin on a new Napa Gold. It was about the...

Hey Brian, nothing out of you. EVERYTHING you touch is a race car!

If your cars with brother Nick, then it definitely is in good hands.

Well OP, there you have it. Either buy Blackazz's T-Type or find a HT. The other option would be to move to the desert. Hey, you could join Nick out in PHX! Regards, John
