Literally the first time we get anything that sticks since 1989. Pretty cool. about an inch or two of accumulation. Some places anyway.

I saw this on the Corvette forum. Some guy in Austin TX.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

You all bought sports cars...I bought a snow vehicle. I bet we don't get any snow.

This is pretty much the exact look I want for my car. Minus the snow

Next question, how does the size of the Vette compare to Viras VR4?

So last night on my way home from the gym I got passed by a red C6 Grand Sport. So so nice.
I can get a decent C6 for less than a ZL1 or a restored Chevelle.... ugh... I fucking hate myself.

Re: The timing is wrong. But also right. AKA Jeff buys a sports car in winter.
Externally, they're similar. The Vette is a little shorter, but with a much longer wheel base. Inside space is about the same if you fold down the seats in the VR4. They're just shaped a lot differently. Everything in the Corvette is more snug and cockpit like.Aaron wrote:Next question, how does the size of the Vette compare to Viras VR4?
Big person + small car = uncomfortable. The math doesn't work for a C6.Jason wrote:I can get a decent C6 for less than a ZL1 or a restored Chevelle.... Ugh... I fucking hate myself.
Maybe compromise and get a Camaro SS in the short term, and trade up to a ZL1 or Chevelle later? 5th gen SS are cheap.

That is what turned me away from the Vette in the first place. Thought about a SS. I can get a gen 6 for SS for the same price or less as a gen 5 ZL1. ZL1 has more power, but is less refined and weighs more.
Not like I can get one now, but it is fun to window shop. Don't have the room for a 4th car right now. After I move then yes, I will get something.

I had the itch to take it out tonight before the weather goes to sub-freezing at the end of the week. It was just under 50* out, I rolled into 3rd gear at about 40mph, and the rear end stepped out. This was me >
Just for fun, I've kept up a casual search for other cars I would have bought. So far, I haven't found another one like mine. I'm sure another one will eventually show up, and it's going to be a long couple months before I can really drive it regularly, but I'm still glad I jumped when I did.
