I doubt he's going to feel the need to soop the vette up as it will feel
like unlimited HP right now from his perspective. It takes awhile for your
brain to start trying to convince you it's NOT ENOUGH!

A few hundred extra HP never hurt a vette, just the owners pocketbook!
Besides, think of the suprise that you can give a stock G6 owner!

ARRGH!!!

I suppose the next thing you are going to tell me is you sold your jet-ski's
and bought a CABIN CRUISER ! ! !

Don't cha know Corvettes are for old men !!


Okay, I'll admit it... I've owned a couple myself, and am really *jealous*
of anyone with a C6 ! ! !

I'll have to live with my 97 M (and MUCH lower insurance bills ) till I
get rich (and old ) like you


Congrats ! ! ! !

Chiefy,

See, the insurance is part of the problem, it's only $240.00 per year
than the Miata. If it had been $2000, I would never have bought it.
And, I am an old man, just trying not to act like one. And no, I will
never sell the jet skis for a boat. I've had too many boats in the past
and every bad thing people say is true. Besides, I'm hoping Kawasaki
puts out their 300HP jetski!!!
