Default At what age

Hey Yellow, You are out of controll. I have been there and know the signs, you wish you had the money to own one of every different Corvette ever made and a place to keep them.
There is a place you need to go for a few weeks and cool off it is the Betty Vette Clinic and the treatments can be harsh but you can get through it. You have to drive a six cylinder Mushtang every day and sleep at night in the back seat of a Dodge Chakkkkenger. When you dry out then you need to commit yourself to one Corvette unless a really good deal on a classic rears it's ugly head and you need to call your sponsor buddy immediately, then I will come check the car out and if it really is a good deal I will buy it and get that temptation away from you. You also need to call your insurance carrier and see if you have Corvetism coverage.

Your addiction buddy

The American Government needs to go into the used Corvette business and we would come out of the reccession soon.
Fast98 are you monitoring the post, I am about to have a fast 98 as soon as I get everything done I have planned. Of course they were no slouch from the factory.
