[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 29713, member: 1318"] Good evening Somebuddy, I thought that my trip hauling the car was bad! I called mom just to see how they were making out maybe around 4 and they were just getting into Valleyview, so the 1/2 way home point. I told her you must have left late and she said no, they left at 10:40 and I thought whoa! 5 1/2 hours to go 250 km!! But she said the way out of Edmonton to Onoway and Whitecourt were the worst they've seen. But I hope they're home now. I know it is a personal opinion as well but a real sports car should only have two seats. Thus why Pony's and Challengers while they might be enjoyable are not the experience I'm looking for. If you can drive it in the winter then that is not the car for me. Oddly, the fact that I can only drive the car for 5 or 6 months ends up enhancing the experience for me as it is not something I get to enjoy year round! I'm sure it is the same way for your bike too. You go without it for a while and you really get to miss it so when you get to enjoy it it means so much more. But don't get me wrong, if the weather conditions were right, like say Nevada or New Mexico I'd be just fine with driving it all year! I hate to say it as well, and not to be coming across as a snob or anything, but I also wanted the exclusivity of driving something that I was not going to see a clone of every time I hit the road. It was worked out that way too. One C6 Z06 in Peace River, the ZR1 in Dawson Creek, a C6 Z51 in Fairview and then a few odd C5 coupes and verts. Grimshaw alone must have 10 plus Challengers and I'm sure 20 Pony's. And I wanted something special for the experience of not dying from cancer. The past summer with 505 hp just begging to be unleashed was something that so exceeded my expectations! I just can't wait for Manny to be done with it to try it at the next level! Always the way to do it, buy your snowblower and skidoo in April and your lawnmower in October! It's always nice to walk in with a wad of cash and just see them crumble. After all, you needed to both have the $ and also be willing to wait for 5 months until you could get into major driving! If it was me I'd set up a proxima projector in the garage and watch movies from the car seat!! I also like that the verts have much more colorful interiors outside of the solid black that I face. Something I'd like to get Manny to do as well. Probably not more engine mods in the future but maybe something done to the seats in a year or two to give it some flash...........
