Well, you stirring the pot now. 
I agree with you. Having owned a '66 Corvette Convertible for eons and eons, I think it's "six of one, half a dozen of the other."
Certainly there's absolutely no difference when they sit in a garage all the time. |

Subzero. What a bunch of snobs. 
Chinese food. Now there's a healthy alternative for your family. 
BTW, whatever happened to PHC1? Did he buy something already? Or did the "fling" with the Cobra end with his purchase of his new 2012 Corvette. |

Orange Chicken, Rice, and an Egg Roll please. Yep, it's got the four food groups, tasty, and visually appealing. |

And would those four food groups be Sodium, Cholesterol, Fat and Sugars? |

I'm still here and no 2012 Corvette in the garage... Just quietly absorbing all the information and wondering if I should ever admit to also owning a SubZero...  |

I have 24k on my car. It's seen a lot of road. I need a new windshield it's been sandblasted so much it's hard to see out when the sun hits at certain angles.
I've had the body repolished once, after abou three years. That was a LOT cheeper than a new paint job.
Like I said.. Till you own one you'll never know... |
