Vette(s): White 73 convertible - 350/auto, A/C PS, PB, PW, leather, t/t, two tops Also had a 69 t-top 20 years ago
It would be great to be able to download a vette to insert into a PS(2) game like Midnight Club where all the fast cars are ricers or lowered trucks. It would be even cooler if I could understand how to do it, and not have to ask my kids. LOL Joe

The best would be seeing a Classic Vette in one of these games, yeah, the C5 is nice, i guess, but.....it would just be so much more fun if we could drive oh say...as 63 split window big block or a 75 drop top or just any beautiful classic C3/2/1(the 74/75's are my personal favorites, but I am a little biased =)

Get your hands on Grand Turismo for the Playstation... They've got a couple of Vettes in there, don't remember what, but I do remember buying a PS just for that game :) It was pretty amazing for it's time... I think they have Grand Turismo 2 and 3 now too, but don't know what kind of cars are in there |headscratch| ...
