You not only did that, you repeatedly shiite all over me and all the other folks in this thread that choose to own sports cars/muscle cars such that you truly sounded like some resentful, democratic underground, OWS liberal. You know you did. The only reason I'm even bothering with this is because you were the ahole at this party, not me and you're going to know that before we part ways. Let's look at some of your BS while we're at it:

..Now the only ones ya see driving these sleds are feeble guys in the 80s trying to impress someone...Very pathetic..

In today's America, the con-men at the Stealerships love to take money from the old guys...They see um coming.....Few young people have that kind of money to blow... It's now a senior citizen thing..

Every time I see some high end muscle car, hot rods etc, it's generally some guy who looks to be 80+ years old, just short of the grave yard.. Kinda scary actually. The insurance for these old guys must be through the roof!

Besides, what are ya going to with it? Race it around the neighborhood? Take it to the store to impress grandma? Pose for pictures with it?

Oh yeah...Besides 80 year olds, Rocks stars and celebrities can afford them!

so we're all a bunch of pathetic, feeble, senior citizens just out to impress somebody on our way to the graveyard huh? That last quote really says it all about you, doesn't it? the only people who can afford them. Isn't that interesting? So after all this poo pooing, we see what it's really about, don't we? You're POed because you can't afford one so, therefore, the rest of us are a bunch of feeble, pathetic, senior citizens trying to impress people before we die from our old age?

You are the quintessential fox decrying that those grapes must be sour because they are out of your reach. I think your cover is blown dragnet. You're an OWSer, aren't you? Why don't you go occupy the car dealerships because they have nice cars that you want but which you can't afford?

nice collection.

I took the GT for a spin last night and kept one police cruiser occupied for a half hour. It must be because of my good looks and youthful appearance. /s

You will love that car

I took the vette to Maine and back to Ohio last week and didn't even make it to Cleveland before I was pulled over on the turnpike for 10 over. Then we discovered WAZE. I don't know if you know about this app but if you don't, you should check it out. We knew where every cop was 15 minutes in advance on our way home. On May 31st in New York State, every cop in the state was trying to make their quota on I90 think. searching cars and everything.

Death wish? Man that has got to be one unstable ride. I have an 84 CJ7 with a hot 4.0 and it wants to go sideways way too often.

Yup. Back in the day we were very happy to get 2.5 hp per cubic inch. Now I go to Summit Racing and spend aobut $2k and do it very easily. You are right times have changed.

You’re apparently offended by the truth and thought all my comments were somehow about you personally which they clearly were not.

You’ll have to deal with those issues yourself..Can’t help ya!

Some of the old and recent Corvettes have been great cars. Also the Mustang GT and some of the variants like the Shelby are also great performers. Looks like your collection is a group of cars that will be historic, especially if the green cars gain market share.

Truth? really? There have been no truths stated by you as of yet, only falsehoods and insults born out of your resentment and envy.

thought all my comments were somehow about you personally which they clearly were not.

Again, your comments were a collection of vitriloic falsehoods and broad brush smears, clearly born of your own resentment and envy, and directed at anyone and everyone who drives around in a nice car.

You’ll have to deal with those issues yourself..Can’t help ya!

I don't have any issues nor do I require your help with anything Mr. Fox but you clearly do have issues as we have already established beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I don't know if they will be historic. I bought them to drive. Though I take good care of them, I do take my dog with me wherever and whenever I go.

Now I have a rescue English Springer Spaniel. A great dog I might add.

I have a Collie, Belgian Sheepdog and Humane Society Border Collie/St Bernard mix. They are all herding breed background and they would like to chase 500 horses! Springer Spaniels seem to be great dogs!

This is my first experience with a Springer. My other dogs were setters and Irish Wolfhounds. This guy is fantastic. I got him about 3 years ago. He was about 5-6 years old and had never been in a house. Now he prefers to stay in the house. He has decided that the last part of his life he's going to sleep in comfort right beside me.

I had 3 dogs at one time and traveled extensively with them. The thing I worried about the most is them getting skunked out in the middle of nowhere. They met a porcupine once and thankfully learned their lesson, painful as it was.
