A couple of years later I sold it! Didn't pass that info on to the new owner. :lol: I still to this day don't know who she was referring to, her boyfriend, me, or just men in general. The car was a lot of fun and could really take corners fast enough to get the excitment level up. Sold it soon after I got two speeding tickets on the way home from work in one evening. It was constantly being challenged on the freeways, and that evening a car was doing that and finally gunned it and sped away at over 100 mph and the cop got me. He threatened to throw me in jail when I started arguing that it was the other guy, I was in the vette, so I got the ticket, which was the second in less than 30 minutes. :cry:

Wise cop. Probably saw that you were unaccustomed to that much speed and figured you couldn't handle it. :lol:

60 over the fence is 60. B models need big flaps. A models just slip it in.
