Geez, my hubby wanted to run out the door to get Starbuck's, and I miss a typo!! Guess I will never live that down. hee hee hee

Gar, You know what obstreperous means, silly boy, or you would not have put the meaning. You did not get where you are today without being a lot smarter than that...I don't buy it for a minute!

Without the Vette Princess, you would be VERY bored.
Guys - did you know the 08 Vette has a new engine? The LS3. 430 hp!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:



When the C-7 comes out, mine goes off for trade in! (whenever that is!)

Since you already threw it off topic, how many times have I told you to quit stalking me? You ain't gettin' any action here so give it up, ok?
Sorry Alice. Gary thinks I am his girlfriend in his fantasies. Does that fit with a bright yellow car?
Probably!!!

Wytstang - you do keep your stang fastidiously clean, as we all do here....?????

I don't go with the whole color matching your personality thing. My favorite colors are black, dark green and dark blue. But that said, I like a variety. My first car was silver, the second black, third white, fourth dark green, and now back to black. And my fun car is red. So I wonder what that would say about me?
