Default What's the most difficult thing to do while driving your vette?

I was over visiting C3 and saw this question posted. Thought it would be a good one for us in here too. Something fun to talk about.

I guess I've definately got two answers. My first is, it is definately difficult to NOT speed, and my second is drink coffee. I've given up, my interior is too nice and the road bumps have not been kind to me, it's like the bumps know, oh, she's got coffee, lets spill it!

Putting the windows up while downshifting into 1st gear on a banked lefthander hairpin turn covered with gravel.

I survived though! :steering:

I find it pretty impossible to not spill drinks while starting from a stop. Now, I wedge the drink between the tranny tunnel and the passenger side seat, works much better than the cup holder.

Smoking. I'm a smoker, but I just can't light up in my Corvette. I'll stand outside and freeze my, uh, patooties off puffing away before I'll mess up my baby with the "smell". :U

Same here. I went from Bowling Green to Ft. Myers and never lit up in it. I refuse to smoke in my vette. I did smoke every chance I got when we stopped though :D

The hardest thing is to try not to light up the tires at every stop. Most that know me, know that I do that quite often.

I realy don't find much (well, maybe sex...) hard to do in my Vette.

I smoke when I like (hey it's MY Vette) and drinks don't spill since I got one of those MAD rubber cup holder inserts. Gliptone Leather Conditioner also restores the new car smell and I can even launch at the strip with a cup of coffee in the holder.

Sorry for my French ladies, but for me it's getting a BEE JAY...:rolleyes:

It's tough to shift, and drive with the wheel all the way up.....:steering:

BUT IT'S WORTH IT!!!!!!

I would recommend it to anyone! :thumbs:
