I have driven an '86 and an '88 and there is a big difference. Similar here. No question. The difference is night and day. As I recall the handling of the '85 was atrocious, but the '88 was great. > > You forget, there are some of us who don't _want_ a Corvette, no matter > > the price. > I certainly wasn't trying to market a GM product.

I don't take sucker bets. Those who drive PEV's typically crow about them in discussions such as this. I.E.: "You're darn right I drive a 2000 SUX! And it's the best thing since sliced cheese!" Besides which, the latest crop of PEV's are SUV's which while giving their urban bound owners fantasies of "getting away from it all" will never leave pavement. > And what's up with the > penis thing, maybe I drive a vagina attracter? It's well known that a man's car in many cases is his major phallic symbol. If you insult his car you might as well be insulting his penis. I know several Corvette owners, and they tend to be touchy about that sort of thing. You were just acting... well, typing... like a Corvette owner who'd just had his insulted. I don't think the car you drive has much to do with the women you attract. They are either going to be attracted to you or not. And if they're not then the car you drive isn't going to help you. The car is at best window dressing. <brag> Personally I've never owned a "vagina attractor", but the seats in all of my cars have gotten their baptism in nookie. </brag> One of the reasons the Edsel failed is thought to be that there on the front of the man's major phallic symbol was a set of female genitalia. Labia minora, labia majora, clitoris and all, cast in chrome. -- Aviation is more than a hobby. It is more than a job. It is more than a career. Aviation is a way of life.
