Thanks brother. There is a few duds that popped in to troll, but its the forum and expected, but I appreciate your compliment. It sure beats the "should I put this sticker on it" or " how do you like my black wheels" post.

This is a story where I'll get a "cool story bro" or the "your cool guy" posts. I don't give three drops of monkey ****.
As a recovering heroin addict, I know what intense is, I know the biggest of rushes, the kind that will kill you in a second, I know what euphoria is I know the highest of highs and I felt the lowest of lows. Only ones who've shot bomb heroin will experience.
Since getting clean life doesn't offer many euphoric feelings, sex...well that's cool for a bit, but it ain't no heroin, good food is nice, going on vacation is cool too, but life after dope is boring ask any recovering dope addict.
Now to the good stuff. My GF of 2.5 years went out of town so I called my gym buddy to go lift, then catch a bite to eat.
We had a blast. I picked him up in my C6. After dinner, driving him home these two young girls in a brand new 200s would not stop tailing my car, going on the side and taunting wanting to race. It went on for a couple of suburban blocks. I thought, I'm over that ****. I'm not a kid anymore, I don't know how to use a stick. Well, I thought
. I had her in 3rd and floored it @ 45MPH and made her 295HP 200s look like she was driving a Geo metro. I was at 100MPH-110, she was about 4 bus lengths if not more behind. I slow down and she wanted to go again, same result if not more bus lengths. My C6 can sort of move, I know I over-powered her, but my stick skills suck. I should have been in second, I probably would have beat her more.
So before the round about my buddy and I did the grown up thing to do, I rolled down the passenger window and we both pointed laughed and waved goodbye. They both then blew past me, I wasn't about to waste anymore gas on that.
Before all of the haters saying ohh dangerous etc. I've done some of the most deadly dangerous **** you can imagine and I woke up/got revived and picked up some more to do it again. This street racing stuff can be dangerous, but the road was empty and I have to put my car away for the winter Sunday. It gave me the feeling of being a kid in high school again, before I made the choice to let that evil drug take nearly 8 years of my life.
This is my first "stree r**ing experience in about a decade and it felt f**kiing awesome! Still, shooting heroin and oxy is light years better, but since I cant do that any more, this was a pretty good natural high. My hands were shaking and my buddy and I were laughing like we were in high school again and of course high-fiving each other. This storage season I'm going to save for LT's and a FAST, this was my drug before the drug. It's feels good to be back and I can stop smiling about it. What a good night!

I found your liver.. It was hiding in the corner, CRYING.
Seriously, as a behavioral health and medical professional, I know you have made a life-saving choice.
Stay clean and enjoy your 'Vette. Go to prison or the psych hospital and stuff like cars goes away.

Thanks for the change of pace OP.
However, If you think life is boring and you've done it all - go try Sky-Diving, Base Jumping, rock climbing or rapelling.............without a safety net. Had you chose to do those things, instead of putting garbage in your veins, you wouldn't be the same.
Life is about the journey, not the destination.

I truly have no desire to do anymore risky **** with my life. I'm still in intensive out-patient treatment and I will be for a couple more years.
I'm into competitive Bodybuilding so that consumes a lot of time. I have a regional competition in May.
Boring is safe to me. I cant complain. Life is calm and the rebuilding process is a lot of work, but I'm grateful I have the chance to be able to do so. Most people I've known that went down the road I do don't get a second chance or they blow their opportunities.
Corvettes are exciting to me and I'm OK with that too. I loved my C5, but the C6 is just soooo much better too.

I'm a guy in my 30s and if my girlfriend is away the computer is going into incognito mode for a while, THEN I'll go tinker with the Vette. Don't judge, you know that's the real answer to that question!
To the OP, good job on kicking the habit! Now work on your shifting skills and you'll enjoy the car even more!

This reminds me of 2 friends….2 guys who were ‘batchin’ it’ for the weekend when their wives went out of town. The guys were trying to decide what to do on a Saturday night without their wives. The first guy said “I heard of a great place….it’s a bar with a 2 for 1 deal….you buy 1 drink and you get another drink for free.” The second guy said “That’s pretty cool but I heard about a place that sounds even better. You can drink all night long for free and whenever you want to get laid you just go out to the parking lot.” The first guy said “That’s amazing…..where’s this place?” The second guy said “Well, I don’t know…..my wife told me about it.”
