- Whoa there big fella. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? Vettes may
- suck in your mind but they are one of the few cars around that can run like a
- scalded ape and still look good sitting still. I don't own one but just admire
- them from afar. It would be a real loss if we lost the Corvette. To bad the
- lawyers and the money grubbing insurance companies are making it hard for
- companies to produce vehicles here in America.
