With the name 'Soda' ..... do you know George Costanza by any chance?

Lol, yeah got some wierd guy the other night said nice car, want to go to my house?? I think he must've been barley 18 or something...kinda freaky! haha The older crowd seems to really like the car though...

This is pretty funny...I went from an '05 C6 to my IS350 because I got sick of the courseness of the Vette and a few other niggling issues. I have a 110 mile roundtrip commute so the tire noise and heat that the Vette puts off was enough for me.

The car also attracted speeding tickets like mad. It was silver one, but cops all over the country seemed to love it.

Good luck though...they are great cars.

Yeah, I'm not a speedster by any means, I just like pretty things!! The only reason I have the R1 instead of the 6 is cuz I like the projector headlights and the dual exhaust under the rear...I did notice the heat on the interior of the vette though..anything in the center console gets pretty hot!

That is defiinitely a good choice still. I am absolutely in love with corvettes. I've always wanted one, and happily I got one.

In my opinion, there are only two good car choices: Lexus or Corvette (Check Sig

Nice R1, but how tall are you? Seat height on the R1 is spec'd at 32.9", so gotta' have a little bit of height for the feet to hit the ground.

Wow you've done what I've been thinking about for a few months now
