NOW.....you "get it" too. Congratulations on figuring this out......




My wife, Rhonda, is not a car person. That means that she tolerates the Corvette. But, I figured out that if I take her for a ride, we go places SHE wants to go! That gets her in the car easier.

Exactly! We need more room to talk about Plasti-Dip and if the 105k Service is really necessary.

Thanks boys...
Well, I did want Adam to give driving it a try...
Johnny wasn't comfortable driving stick so we had to do all the rolling shots in Betty's car. Other than the Tl-S ones where I had Zoe with me...I drove the SRX and Adam drove his car and the S2000. Kinda partially also me wanting to be the one driving my kid, God forbid something happen. Protective Daddy kicked in.

Can you imagine how I'd feel if I was driving my little S2000 for rolling shots and someone runs a red light or runs you off the road and I have to watch all of you crash with my baby in the car?!?! Fk no...

yeah, man...sad to see them take a hit, that's for sure.

Johnny...I'm not morbid, I'm just cautious! You'll see in about nine months and one day, what I'm talking about.

Those came out great! The car looks insane driving down the road! I didn't really appreciate the color until I saw it in person. Everything about it is nicely done.
