Vette(s): Numbers matching 1972 350 4 speed, silver pewter body with blue interior
Yes they are cool! I look forward to passing on the torch in whatever level of interest they exhibit. They will both be taught to drive manual trans cars. Everyone should know how to run a car through its gears. Someday I'll paint my vette too but right now its nice not having to freak out cuz someone parked next to me at the grocery store (happened tonight, both sides...and after I parked waaaay out in the sticks).


My Christmas present to ME! Bought Sat 11-30-2013. 72, 350 4 spd, Silver with blue interior...Can't you just hear Pablo Cruz playing in the background?

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
The problem I have is my wife said if it is not as pretty as her she will not ride in it.  

Actually I said that.  All she said was it was ugly and until it get painted she will not ride with me.

Of course I like my version of the story better.

 a couple years ago a woman 30 ish was upset with the keyless entry on her escalade.
me the ever helpful type ( BIG lie) i asked what the problem was . she says she can't get in her car , i said let me see your keys. i take them , find the door key , open it then take the other key and started it. stepped away and said there you go.
 she was speechless, she probably still wonders what happened. 
 i hope she doesn't vote.
