If you prefer being at the edge, there are better and cheaper choices than the R35.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were him, but no.

I'm sure Justin wants one but I advised him to get something more curb friendly

This is ridiculous -

Chevy Dealer Wants $100,000 for 2014 Stingray

Judging by the current demand, he’s probably gonna get it too.
GM recently warned customers they could well face a six-month wait for a new Corvette Stingray. With strong demand and a supply that’s not going to be increased, some dealerships are experiencing shortages and are milking the opportunity to extort buyers that simply can’t wait. One particular California dealer thinks $25,000 is a fair markup for a car that’s priced at $75,760 (after over $20,000 of options had been added).

It's not if you note the intrinsic benefits...like picking up hawt cougars.

What colors is this? If Red, it's worth more than a Poopdick.

Ah shart...you're right!

It takes a convertible to win over the hawt cougar!

So, maybe a non-convertible just wins over cougars...who aren't hawt. It's still potentially priceless, you know?

Where's the guy with the red Corvette to ask for his take?

'Twas on only in that one thread...not here.

ETA: Besides, Yummy could have been referring to Steven Bell; he has a red Corvette.

No updates...I've racked up $30k in credit card debt trying to keep my family afloat while I worked out a settlement with my former business partner over a ridiculous non-compete he was trying to enforce. I may be reaching some decisions on whether I will continue on my own or join with someone else here shortly. Until then, no spending on the car.

Took almost six months to get some very simple concessions out of him. Amazing how you can know someone for eight years and not really know them at all. No idea he could be so vindictive.
