The threads are getting kind of annoying.
Which threads the ones I keep posting about?
 
I don't know.

The photoshop ones and stuff like that. It's like they post a thread for every picture or something.

Note: I'm not talking about the Photo Contest. I'd to join that but I have no camera to work with. That's why I'm slow at getting pictures. I want my scooter picture up soon.

Ahhaahha! :smile:
 
I'm a bit partial to vettes, because of my new toy (yeah I know, typical 50+ something male with a vette, but note I've been driving superbikes since the 1980's, current bike is a Suzuki Hayabusa, which makes the vette look slow. I'm a bit of an acceleration freak (typical male thing?). Few people know the difference between a regular vette and the z06 (505+hp versus 400hp, lighter car, better handling, ...). Even my wife likes the car though, although she's still reluctant to go full throttle on it. The vette's city milage isn't good, but it's over 26 on the freeway (very aerodynamic), and I commute a lot with the bike, which is over 35mpg.

That is a beautiful car Jeff, I have heard that the new Z06 is an amazing car and that video you posted of it was great!The vette has always been my dream car, I would love to have a 63 coupe with the split rear windows.
