Beer would always be free

Topless women's volleyball would become a year around sport

Beer would be free in the after life too

1/ better manual trans and linkage
2/ better interior quality especially leather plus better seats
3/ fix the top for good

what is it worth to me? that is how much extra would I pay for...

1/ $500 more in final price of car possibly even $1000
2/ $1000 more possibly even $1500
( note: I don't want onstar, hud, or the whole load , and I mean load of junk , IMO, in LT3 just higher quality interior furnishings and leather I can shift the car without having my head up )
3/ I was planning on buying an 07 but NO WAY will I buy until I believe that the top is fixed, fixed right, and fixed for good. This does not mean shooting in some adhesive it means a redesigned top. So I won't pay extra for this I just won't pay anything at all. So call this negative about $50k. It's a deal breaker-stuff like seats and trans are not.

just my opinions incidentally. The C6 is a great car but no way am I buying any car on which the top comes apart. I personally cannot understand why anyone who is informed about the top situation would order an 07 at the present time. Why buy yourself trouble? oh well.

Default If I could change 3 things

1. I would change the fact that my net worth is currently not $300 billion to go along with my present attributes which include handsome, smart, witty, charming and sophisticated.

2. I'd change the fact that the British have not yet given, nor even offered to give me, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac as my personal playground.

3. I'd change the fact that I don't get to bang all of the supermodels, professional cheerleaders and starlets I want to.

:


Yes, hopefully GM will see all of these and do something about them.

Then I can help you guys get what you want. So you see, me getting all of the stuff above helps everyone in the end :
