This is mine. i like the way it looks. unfortunately i need to drive it sometimes. then i don’t like it so much. too much money dumped in, custom paint, custom interior, tons of stuff…drives like total crap, handles bad, slow. I came from a BMW background a a few years ago i decided to be cheap when i was shopping for a new car. I’ll never make that mistake again

Nice 300. I have always been a big fan of the Z car. I had a 72 240z, and 78 280z in my college days. I had a project 71 240z in the 90’s that kind of never got finished. I sold that project to buy the Corvette. It is a nice driver for short folks. Very low mileage as it doesn’t get driven much.

I love vettes, the LT1 was one of my all time favorite engines. I actually wanted to do an LS2 swap in my G35 as they have more of the parts to make it a bolt in proposition, and plug and play. A guy out by me had the first LSx powered 350z, it was pretty amazing. Potential for over 400whp with a few bolt ons and lighter weight/better fuel economy than most 6 cylinders.

I find it rather shameful that my girlfriends 07 Mini Cooper S with a reflash and downpipe can consistently pull on my G35 on the highway

I have this perception about Corvette’s. It seems they change hands often. My 92 has had many owners but very low documented mileage. Like an unwanted foster child. It is sad, but I have given mine a good home and garage spot to stay as long as I am around. I know the first owner bought the car to take a trip through the US.. Dude, wrong car for a long trip. Unless you are on the Cannon Ball Run or something. The major maintenance things are beginning to cycle around.. Clutch replacement, headlight gears, capacitors in the Bose amplifiers.

Sith-

Believe me, I almost did many times… but, after shaming myself (again) with Fluffy over in the Marketplace, I thought it best to leave that one for the next guy! Great minds and all the shite…

Slightly related sidenote, when my buddy Mark opened his Bike Shop TCB (yep, and Elvis wink), he printed up a bunch of nice baseball style ringer shirts that said “Servicing your mom since 1996”. I sure do miss that shop, it’s brutal when a great LBS goes under!
