never cared for Corvettes. was maid of honor in a wedding once where the bridal party drove in a caravan of Vettes. RME. it was the Burgh, back in the day.
It’s a guy thing. They aren’t practical, but boy aren’t they!
No Maverick?
The vette lost it’s cachet, in 84...when they abandoned the coke bottle for the wing....
But like Simon saod to Arnold... the vette...get’s ‘em wet...
Bit...I prefer a Milwaukee vibrator for thst purpose...as long as it doesn’t rain..like the other day leaving Giant Eagle.....grrrr.
Coming home from the gym...skies dark..figgrd I had about 15 minutes...sadly the cashier was a little slow...full blown thunderstorm.
Had to strip naked in the garage, and empty the water out of my back pack..steaks marinated in rain water...pretty hilarious.
Rain doesn’t hurt till you get up around 60...thank god I wasn’t coming home from work.
The new Vette with the 460 horses will knock you back in the seat.

Swapping vette engines into F Body cars has long been a staple of Chevy enthusiasts in particular, now it seems to have infected design of the superior vehicle..I like the look...kind reminds me of the old ‘Cuda...
(In terms of muscular visual panache) ...
Comparatively take the Jaguar XKE..go way back..come forward..the Jag still looks like a Jag..
84 makeover...
