Love Ben Stein.

[glock rocks]

Love my Vette.

[Hatteras]

It's even better when you read it in HIS voice...

[Bigg Red]

Okay, now I understand their stupid obsession.

[ElTianti]

Love my S2000

[Revelation 911]

'62 Vette 327/340hp - sweet motor - basically a stroked 283

Ive got a .060 over 283 in my 67 Chevelle (64cc) '66 Vette Fuelie Camel Hump heads (461's), wild cam, '66 vette quad manifold. Sounds and runs like a 396, cept you can rev it to about 6 or 7 grand

Though I have to say - my favorite is

I can still recall the girls gazing at me longingly as I hurtled along Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Avenues on my way to teach part time at American University. To them, Ben Stein was not the guy in that fiberboard walled office at the FTC. He was the coolest guy ever, in his Corvette

A legend in his own mind. He paints men and women with a broad brush. True half the women thought he was cool, but the other half thought he was just a boy with a toy. And though many men do see their cars as an extenuation of themselves, so they must have the latest and greatest, there are those of us who are more practical, and do not love our cars. For those of you who love your car I would like to say, why waist love on something that will never love you back and if it could would trade you in on a cooler sexier driver?

Every party has a pooper...

[CollegeRepublican]

Beuller......anybody........Beuller.

[Valin]

Two words...Lighten up!

[Between the Lines]

Three words.... get a life

[Eric in the Ozarks]

396's don't rev like small blocks. I tried it--it went BLOOIE !

Sorry to ruin the "mine is bigger" party. I didn't know this was a private party, since it is in News/Activism I thought that it was a logical thinking mans discussion of the article. Guess I was wrong and in needs to be moved to chat. I will leave yall to your perversions now. You kids have fun... Later...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Ford F-150 that Charles Bronson drove in the movie about watermellons...

[doodad]

I love my 96 Camaro. Supposedly the name came from the chief exec at Chevy and is Latin for companion. I hate to see them retire, but glad to own one. Especially since the *ahem* cats seem to have fallen off last month. And the stock manifold, and the stock ypipe...shhh don't tell the greenies. Keep them focused on SUVs.

[Uncle Miltie]

This article describes exactly why the left must destroy the automobile culture.

[Hatteras]

No problem. Not a private party at all. By your first comments, it was obvious you didn't know who Ben Stein is. If you had known Ben Stein, you would have noted the irony in the paragraph you cited and would have realized what a "stick in the mud" your comment painted you to be.

Thanks for your silly little opus.

By the way, MINE is bigger. ;-)
