speaking of sports cars in the winter...







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.

My cousin just posted a picture of his snow covered Vette in NC hah.

Moved the humvee to the top of the hill....then it quit snowing.

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

Snowing quite a bit in Richmond from what she just messaged me hah. Her car was all covered in it.

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

Took this pic 7 or 8 years ago

Next question, how does the size of the Vette compare to Vira’s 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.

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.

Big person + small car = uncomfortable. The math doesn't work for a C6.

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.

p.s. Congrats Jeff. Of course you understand that this just means you're better than most people right?[/quote]

Except BMW owners

Except Porsche owners.

Totally, but they think they are better than Honda owners.

Thanks, Mike.

Found a suitable 944?

Indeed

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.
