Owned a little bit of everything, and they all have their good and bad sides. But I have to admit, I do hate an early 70's fat fendered Chevelle. The one the bow-tie boys drool over. Give me a '68 396 SS Chevelle any day! |

Guns and death are just as close to boats and boating as this crap. |

I have an F-150 SuperCrew and I love it. Nobody pulls out in front of you when you are driving down the road. Mine has a 156 ince wheel base and I can do a 3 point turn in my two car driveway. Whenever I go somewhere I do stratigic parking, park out where nobody is. I've also noticed how courteous drivers have become since I got the Silverado. It's a remarkable transformation. I had no idea my purchase of a big pickup would improve the manners of such a great many people! Funny... I've notice that people react to the Corvette in different ways.

You *could* knock off your **** and join the club. The atmosphere's fine until this starts. BTW, did you buy a gun for your boat? I might could make you a good deal on a Sig Sauer P250 in 9mm.

Give me a '68 396 SS Chevelle any day! Funny, I've always been a Ford guy, because my father was! In the little town I grew up in, there was a guy who after graduating high school, went to work for the state road department (his father worked there as well), still lived at home. He had a pickup truck, but bought a brand new 1969 SS 396 Chevelle, last year of the shaker hood. He put it in the garage, covered up, every couple of weeks, take it out, run it maybe 15 miles, bring her back, wash it, wax it put it back. Last I knew, he still had it, about 8 years ago, with 15k on the odometer. |
