lol, I say that because almost everytime I see someone driving a vette... it's an old man!

Anyway, on the subject. I never did have a vette. I'm just not a chevy fan at all. I don't know why. The Vette just never appealed to me though it's not a bad looking car... hard to explain I guess. There are also a lot of them. There is one guy who has a white 370 convertible that lives local to me, but honestly I have not seen very many of them in my area. I can count 20 vettes anytime I take a 20 minute trip to the movies or out to dinner.

I did have an 06 and then an 08 Evo. Talk about a cheap interior? ... and paint!?!?!? SHIIIIIIIT, you don't know cheap paint until you drive one of those for 2000 miles and it's got little chips ALL over the front and around the wheel wells. Not to mention the paint is also sandblasted in those areas.

I bought and drove an MS3 for about 5k miles, and it had some really cool stuff about it, and was a pretty decent car, but to do much upgrading you have to buy either fuel interals or a new fuel pump which is at least 350.00.

The Z was a car I had always wanted. I was close to buying a Z32 on several occasions, but never went through with it. I pulled the trigger on the 370 because I liked it, liked that it put out decent power, interior was nice, seats were IMO very comfortable, car handles exceptionally well, the wheels and the car in general look good right out of the box and don't make me want to buy wheels for it or upgrade the brakes or anything (unless I track the car), and to be quite honest, there aren't that many NA mods, so I knew I wouldn't blow to much money on it like I did my Evo. To much modding is just to much trouble IMO.

So I bought the base 6MT with sport package got the F.I exhaust (there is no drone unless the car is under load by the way) got the ART pipes which REALLY woke the car up. I will do something with the intake, MAYBE get some 3.96 or whatever they are gears and that's it. I have a mid 12 second car on a good day and that's good enough for me.

Like I said... I don't know about owning a vette, but I do know that i'm picky about my car as it is... my Fiancee has convinced me now that it's just a car and that I have spent some much time worrying about every little rock chip and such that I don't get a chance to enjoy it as much. I can't imagine owning a very very expensive car would be like for me.

So now I just drive it, park it in the right places, enjoy keeping it clean and driving it is a real pleasure.. I really look forward to driving it... i'm quite happy with it.
