Guess I'm just an opinionated male an is just a little sweet heart. She said something negative, I threw it back in her lap. Of course she had to be right because you share the same opinion right? Nice to know you're a reverse sexist. Fine for you to have an opinion, but not me huh? Glad to know how things work in your world. Probably want my first amendment rights as well huh?

Not at all, ZW. I just don't like when one person attacks another for their opinion. Snowy wasn't attacking anybody. You have a right to your opinion, just as she does. I don't happen to think all Corvette owners are pathetic, balding old farts trying to relive their youth (though I've yet to see a person seemingly under the age of 50 driving one), but she does. YOU probably took offense at her comments because there was some truth in what she said. Go ahead and have your opinion, but there's no need to insult.

Cindy, it would be the same as saying that *all* young female Corvette owners are kept women with a Sugar Daddy. That's an opinion. There are many in the KKK that think Black folks are lazy. That's an opinion as well. Neither are correct. Opinions can be based on being some type of "ist". She showed a tad of age bias.

If I remember correctly she stated that her brother owns a Vette and that already invalidates the *all* portion of the statement. Unless of course he is 31 years older then her and balding as well.

After all, what is old? When your a Pup it's one thing, when you're

I'd say you made out pretty good. $800 plus another $250 for an Edelbrock Performer carb and a couple hundred for some bucket seats and you've got '60's style and a semblance of muscle in a car you can insure for nothing and happily drive in all kinds of weather.

There ARE deals out there. I got our '70 Cougar in in August 1997 in all original condition, a minimum of rot, for $1800 (pix:

So this is the trap always, with these old heaps, that you get the "might as well's," and you get upside down in a hurry.

You've got the perfect combo for an affordable but fun '60's car, a full-size non-Chevy two-door with a big block. For going fast, probably the cheapest thing is an EFI Mustang 5.0 with the mass airflow sensor, or a TPI 350 ci Crapmaro. But you must live in a state without smog inspections, or else be prepared to restore your engine compartment to stock every two or three years.

|| "America's Sports Car" || || Which one are you talking about.. the Viper, 'Vette, or the Ford GT?

The Vette has always been known as America's Sports Car, where as the Mustang has been the venerable "pony car" or "muscle car". The Viper is in it's own $100,000 super car league.

but my bro is that much older than me

people think I'm his daughter.

hell, someone thought I was his granddaughter.

he's also got more grey hair (and I tease him about it... of course, he then proceeds to wipe the bowling lanes with me, but hey, that's only fair) than our dad did when he decided at 72 it was time to check out.

so.

further more... just to keep the peace here, I apologize for saying what I did... but it doesn't change the fact I see what I see and I'll continue to observe... I'll just start to keep observations to myself. I'll just remember to be more careful around people here... I suppose not every one can be as tolerant of jokes and such comments as I and the people I know are.

however I still don't appreciate the airhead comment, as I am not an airhead.

Well it was an airhead comment, hence the airhead comment.

No.

my bro may only be a 1/2 brother, but as far as i'm concerned, he is a real brother and ever since i was little i looked up to him and probably always will (for the corvette, the awesome bowling averages, and black belt)

My point is _has been known_. But in 1990, America's sports car number increased to two when the Viper debuted. The Viper is well under $100Gs, about $20-$25Gs under. The Ford GT could also be considered a sports cars. Sorry, just a little dig at the Covette guys.

Anyways...

Who knows what anything is these days? It's all so blurry now.
