Vette(s): #1 -1969 Corvette Coupe Riverside Gold, black interior,MN,A/C,350/350,PS,PB,window cranks. #2 -2000 C5, black/black, 6 sp, Bose system & lots of buttons.
Well, as you all know............my C3 has been in the shop now for over 3 months.  All I've had to drive is my C5.  So right before Christmas, I was at a stop light waiting for it to go GREEN.  It goes green and I put the C5 in 1st and proceed to move forward, then........"WHAM"  I get hit in the rear!Shocked  Son of a Biscut Eater, what was that!!???  It was a RED Dogde NEON........was I not going fast enough for them?!  I get her info and she gets mine, I report the accident to her insurance company.
 
To make a long story short, I finally got my car back TODAY and I'm out of the Nissan Sentra Rental Car.  Man, what a BIG DIFFERENCE........I sure missed my Vette, but the little Nissan wasn't bad (at least it was transportation).  I'm thinking maybe I should get a little panty waste car to drive to work and around town and only take the vettes to special occasions.  Would this make me a panty waste??Confused

Micki, I don't think it would make you a panty waist, just wanting to keep your cars in good shape.  The way people are today, they don't care about anyone elses property; opening doors into your car, backing up and hitting your car, drunk driving, etc.  I had a friend who had his car keyed at work.  I only drive my Vette on weekends or occasions where I won't be leaving her unattended for long, never to the mall or grocery store.  I've got a small pickup truck for all the everyday trips.  Wish I could drive her everyday though.

Dang, I must have led a sheltered life. I'm 63 and that's the first time I've ever heard the word pantywaist.  I had to google it. LOL

Don't worry Miki...according to the definition it only pertains to boys. You're home free.

Panty Waste Definition
A weak male born with a great deal of female traits but with just enough male traits to get him into the boys locker room.
 
Example: Brian prances around the locker room like a freakin 'Panty Waste', he must be a Dabbler.

Gosh Micki I hope not. If so there's somethin about you I sure didn't know.................
 
I think you would be called, "A small Car Driver".
