LOL yeah I'm a shitty driver....


No so much shitty as in aggressive and ADD which is a bad combo


How long ankles take to heal SUCK so bad... I have new respect for athletes that bounce back after injuries like they do. Like AP shredding his knee in December and coming back and coming 7 yards shy of passing Dickerson for most rushing yards ever in a season. Sick.

Because me and a friend are sitting here talking about it considering he is looking to purchase a quick car. He figured most would say "Vette"

I don't know, i find it a bit odd as well... I mean not so much as embarrassing me, more when something is cringe worthy i'm embarrassed for them.

From a performance and bang for the buck standpoint, 100% Vette.

Honestly, I find 350/370z's to be kind of cheesy. Weird proportions and they aren't really good at any one particular thing.

ETA: C5 Z06 is a really underrated car. You can pick them up with low miles for ~$25,000 throw another one or two grand in them and have quite a formidable track car.

I like them, but they have limitations.




Sure it can, unless you drive 300 miles or more in a day regularly. I only do that 2-3 times a year and if I had a Tesla I would rent a car for those times, end up flying instead or find one of the charging stations that are popping up like crazy all over.

Ya after fricking up my foot so badly I have no idea how they do it. Obviously they have the best surgeons, trainers and have world class genetics but still.....

Car people have a different definition of "cheesy".

A Honda Accord with fart pipes or a Eclipse with a wing are cheesy in our opinion.

A Vette or even a 370 ( though it's a bit boy-racerish) can hold their own on a Auto-X and really handle wel.

People that don't like Corvettes or other performance cars are fine. They usually haven't driven one or really don't like to drive.
That's OK just GTF out of the way.

I was 100% getting one next year until the IRS decided they wanted to frick with me and try to ruin my life 2 weeks ago. My attorney will have it all figured out this week and hopefully I can still be able to get one but it isn't looking that good.....I may have to put it off a year or so.

I haven't driven both but I love the way the new Z06 looks and would guess I would pick that.

That's tough.

I like the GT-R, but it's just so bland...but it's a beast performance wise. I'd probably go with the GT-R.

TBH maybe this isn't a bad thing considering the technology seems to be coming on line exponentially. No telling what Elon will have accomplished by 2016

Going to have to make that trip and come hit the town in the Tesla S with you. frick everything in Scottsdale

You know for a fact the old guys getting the Brotox, dressing like their teenage grandson, and hanging out at Hooters couple times a week driving the Vettes are no doubt cheesy

And you also know it's WAY too common

Ya putting off the car isn't the worst thing but all of the other shite I have been dealing with is so fricked. I have never been so stressed, I can't wait until it is over. Even if I am totally fricked I just want to know, not knowing is killing me.
