a couple of weeks ago we looked at several of those when we took my truck in for service at our local dealership .... my wife is a Camaro fan and even she admitted they are very nice indeed ....

Reminds me of the old Joe Walsh song...."My Maserati does 185...I lost my license now I don't drive..."

That would be me with a car like this. :)

Wow! That would look right at home in an art gallery, never mind a garage.

I'm with Joe Walsh on this one. I'd probably be a wanted man in every county if I got turned loose on the road in something like that.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I will admit they look nice and there fast but for a bigger guy there isnt much room inside. Ive ridden in them and I dont care for them after the ride. Maybe Im just not sporty anymore.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I would need a crane to get out with my knee problems. I have a nice rolling work stool with trays under the seat, for working on the trucks. These days, I can't get up from the stool, unless I roll it over to a counter and PULL myself up.

I hear you guys, I haven't ridden in it yet, but drove a 98 a while back.
