Buy something more fun to drive then a civic...lol. Id rather have a 4wd ford ranger for a winter vehicle. get with the 4.0L v6 and it will get out of its own way, and hitting things won't be a big deal haha..

I never thought I would see the day when I got a vette, but I love the Z06. Intake & powerduct go on it tonight along with a tune later this week.

Driving the girl's bolt on X since I brought my puppy to work...I love the Evo but even being in that car which is a fantastic car I like driving my vette more

Thank you! Yep, I've put about 1,700 miles on it since the end of July. She's a beast alright. Still really can't believe how fast this car is stock. And its 13 years old!

Just want to comment that 450 whp DD stock block Evo is totally doable.

Keep on with the Vette discussion... I've always thought they are great looking cars.

I love my wife's Prius as a daily. 50mpg is just delicious. Boring as **** to drive though

Nice corvette, you definitely need to take care of the 1st to 4th gear issue lol

i was gonna sell my civic and get one of these newer, 40mpg-or-so cars.. but the added cost offset the gas savings. i'd have to own the car for YEARS to make it profitable.

still can't beat a 1992-00 civic, IMO.

so.. are there pics of the vette and i missed it??
