vf... true story... Just last weekend I was pulled over on a 2 lane road (55 mph limit).. The CHP was a woman. She was coming the other way but had radar on.. She was behind a car and below a hump in the road. I was behind a jeep that was doing about 35 soooo.... I nailed it fairly hard in second to go around. The CHP only seen me when I was back in my lane. She came around and pulled me over. Said I was doing 74mph. I'm sure I was. I told her "but only till I passed and then I slowed down right?" She said that she hadn't seen me pass anyone but she knew she had to pass the same jeep to get to me so... she just said... "hold it down on this road it's wet out today". No ticket.

My sons stepdad has a new vette.. he wanted my son, who is a mechanic, to darken the lenses on it.. He told my son "don't take the traction control off" My son said "it has traction control? thaniks for telling me" the guy can afford the tires.

Cars are getting to be very fast. Traction control makes the old "exhibition of speed" thing kinda outdated. My car will spin the tires on the freeway if i want it to... not at all dangerous... Why should I get some kinda exhibition of speed ticket? Going through the gears i can keep the tires barely overreving (polite for slightly burning) with as little or less danger than someone with traction control.

I don't follow automobiles, but I didn't think they made Corvettes with manual transmissions...or do they now?

Nice 350Z, or is it ZX? I've always loved the Z's and the first car I could buy was a 280ZX. Totalled that one and then bought another (a 1982) and still have it, though it mainly just sits because I drive my other car for normal stuff.

Raubvogel: What a fantastic Saab. Is that a manufacturers bodykit?

I bet your car could outrun any of the namby pamby cheese wedges seen so far. Especially with those big exhaust pipes and radical side vents!

VFJackal: Even though it's not an Aston Martin, that is still a sweet looking vehicle, very menacing! Wishing you many happy miles. I'd post a pic of my car, but you'd all laugh at me until I started weeping.
