I blame you guys for this

A week or so ago I was bitching about having to drive an SUV because I needed to haul band gear to gigs. Someone (I forget who, hence my taking it out on the entire community), told me a tale of owning a Corvette and hauling a trailer to gigs. Well, that got me to thinking, and I came to the conclusion that I could just buy an old beater van to haul gear to gigs. Consequently, I just ended up with one of these last night. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/model_coupe.htm[^] You guys are a reeeeally bad influence on me... :-) Chistopher Duncan Author - The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World (Apress)

I've been told that before I can have a mid-life crisis I'll have to grow up first. Since that's not looking very likely, I think I'll just concentrate on the fun part!

Brian Delahunty wrote: 350 bhp... I'd say so!!! What's even cooler is the handling. It's got an Active Handling System for traction & control loss that calculates where the driver wanted to go, where the car's actually going, and then fires the brakes individually, like Space Shuttle braking thrusters, to compensate.

Repeat after me: [1] Mid-life crisis :-O [2] There goes the environment :( But despite [2] I do like the looks of the Corvette, especially the 92/93/94 era. I hope you enjoy it, don't put your foot down until you have 5,000 miles on the clock. :rose: Old Simon HB9DRV
