If I tried that, me and my car would probably end up inside that church!

I hope that never happens! Your car inside the church that is!

I've had cars and sold cars. I never really enjoyed any of them. This one, I can assure you is creating great memories and keeping me stress free

Nice control coming out of the last one, and heading straight down the road.

That's the kind of thing I did when I was younger, and tires were easily obtainable for $75.00.

Now, I'd be happy to make donuts with someone else's car.

Way to go!! When I finally get mine out I'll consider doing the same thing. Tires for the Vette are not that expensive guys, C'mon.

Thanks, I wish tires were $75 bucks.

Tires are really not that that expensive, $300ish a tire. I had fun doing it so to me it was worth it.

Not hard at all...video games helps. I play a lot of Assetto Corsa (racecar simulator), they have some drift modes in it.

Why are they gonna s#it themselves? because I'm beating on the car? I drive it everyday, rain, snow, I'm out and about driving it. I love people's expression when they see the car at a red light... especially the kids. So a little spin here and there makes there day. I know it would make mine.

It's working fine now. It only does it for a while but 5 mins later its all good. I think it just needs good trans fluid change job done. Its a Corvette, it needs to be driven like one

I found out what the problem was, the previous owner/head unit installer dropped a screw down in the shifter area, I have more details and pictures in the other thread I started about the issue, I figured I'd update everyone here.

Nice! Third time driving the car, I had to test it out.. I already had new tires ready to put on, as these were almost bald when I bought it from the original owner. Enjoy!

My tires are way to expensive to be doing that with. Besides, I thought your were offering me a real donut. I was kinda hungry.
