Mine is a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva.
It's Red with a black pinstripe.
My 1984 Vette is black with the grand sport style hashes in Red on the hood

You gotta get a CHevy truck as your other ride. And get one with enough guts to haul your C4 on a trailer in case you want to haul it somewhere for paint, mods, etc. :cool:

Best compliment to your present Corvette would be a C2, a C3, and a C5 (you did say you needed seating for five, right?)

2003 BMW M5.
4-doors, 400HP stock, 6-speeds, 12.86 second 1/4 mile, 180+ top speed. Can beat most Vettes (not my old one), carrying five witnesses to the fact. Like a Vette, a DRIVER'S car.

Unless you're into spreading the wealth, there's something wrong about driving a Ford and having a Vette :eek: Stay with GM, the systems are similar. Someday you might want to trailer your Vette, so go with something that could handle that. I do like the Durango R/Ts

Not nice as Eleven's M5 but my daily driver is the 2003 G35 Infiniti or the V35 Nissan Skyline in Japan.

Funny? our '89 convert was the fun weekend car. Two children later and now the Maxima is the weekend car and the Corvette is my daily driver with all of the neglect to prove it.

I split my time fairly evenly between my Mustang GT convertible and the Corvette. Now next year when I get the Porsche 911 (probably a '99-00 model), it'll be the daily and the other two will start to finally get the upgrades they deserve.

Dodge Dakota Quad Cab. The best truck I have ever had. Sesats 5 nicely, plenty of power (4.7 V8), 5 sp, 4x4. I enjoy driving it almost as much as the vette. If I was to get a new vehicle I would problem get another Dakota. I usually get a new vehicle after 2 1/2, 3 years. The Dakota is a 200 nad not even looking.

my F-150 comes in very handy! I had a 72 chevelle with cowl induction... VERY SWEET CAR! I looked for another before I bought my vette, but couldnt find one I liked. Im not sure what you do for work or if you like working on your house, etc... but the F-150 is a great work truck, and the straight 6 engine will run forever. :cheers:
