    My wife warned me not to loot at "those" sites!

    My wife caught me last night looking at this site and said No! @ my age I want one and the bank said they would look into the loan. Normally the bank won't go over 10 years but, I am a long-time customer of the bank. Mom said that she would consider a military Humvee instead of this dream.vette.jpg368887611_666807095483244_4096235216819102327_n (2).jpg

    4" off the ground. Very hard for us old geezers to get in and out of.

    If you're short it is difficult to see over the dash too. On most models they are set up high.

    You're better off with that F-150.

            The last time I talked to anyone that owned a vette they said it rides like a truck. Take her for a ride, she might like it. Probably rides like a Humvee.

                I like driving a Truck - you're higher up than those
                people in those silly little cars that can't carry a Couch
                or sheets of Plywood. Plus it makes me feel like Gulliver.

                  Sam, gave up the "sled" when I lost the dog. However, got a plastic tub, just bring Heidi.

                    Dad had an 85, and it did not ride any better than the 82 Hilux Toyota 4x4 I was driving at the time,

                    much faster tho,


                    got a ride in a newishcamaro yesterday,

                    my Mini Cooper was easier to get in and out off,
                    and rode better, (and like performed better)

                      Some of them ride like a sheet of plywood being pulled down the highway.

                      Sam, check ins rates too if you are serious. Speed won't be a factor at our age but expensive repairs may be. Not everyone is good with working with fiberglass.

                      On vetts made in the early 90's the hood and fenders tilted forward where you could get to everything. The rest of them don't. A co-worker had a model similar to the one you pictured. To get to the a/c-heater blower motor for example, required the right fender be removed. The mechanic he took his to thought that was too much work so he cut a large hole in the fender and patched it up afterwards. Yeah, the owner was pissed.

                      They are hard to park too in congested areas because they are longer than they look plus visibility isn't very good.

                      Tell your wife not to call me any more tonight. I'm watching college football then going to bed.

                        Mom wants to know who that woman is that keeps answering your phone. Something about, "Joe's bar, he's not here!"
