It's all 6 Shooters fault....

[68Roadster]

....we swapped over to the Banana side.
Mrs 68Roadster drove her brand spanking new VY coupe home today. Took a little wrangling at the dealership but we got a great deal. I've been playing with buttons all night.
THIS CAR IS AWESOME!
I hope she racks up the 500 break in miles soon cuz I'm dying to run thru the gears with the paddles.

I'm ready D, bring on the comments!

What color did you say it was? otfl

SAVE THE WAVE!

You're assuming she's going to give it up long enough for you to drive it?

:L

Looks great, hope ya'll love it!

 

[gmjunkie]

Dose this mean you won't be needing the 68 anymore and your going to have me come and pick it Up??? otfl

 

[6 Shooter]

Congrats on da Sweet L@@king Ride!

Why the only color, yellow, "Victory Yellow" or "Millenium Yellow!"

What color did you say it was?

 

[Scott Winebarger]

Thats the sort of thing you do and don't tell anyone , you know.... Closet Yellow!
Beautiful car , Congrats !!!!!!
Its ok to stray from the White as long as you keep the only true color in your heart. You just should have never given Dwayne Ammo for his Yellow Gun!

 

[68Roadster]

Thanks lt4 - just to keep poking that stick at Dwayne, it's banana yellow..otfl

rascal you nailed it, I'm pretty much Wash and Zaino Boy when it comes to her car although she did let me drive it home in the rain from the dealership. It's already dirty.

junk - although I appreciate the offer I think that little roadster's gonna be in the garage for years to come.....thats my escape mechanism and besides it doesn't have a payment book!

6 - I will, I tried it last night up to about 60 just to see how it worked. It only takes a few minutes to get used to it and the shifts are nice and smooth, granted I only went from 1st to 2nd!! I cannot wait to romp on this thing (TC off of course)

Pseudo - I knew that was coming. I do love the color though. So now Dwayne has another disciple in the bunch besides you and Chas and Erik!
BTW the striped look good!

cj5 - I hear ya brother.....I figured it was best to come right out and acknowledge the fact we jumped to the banana side rather than change my signature and profile and sit back and wait for Dwayne to start poking the stick at me....I'll always have the 'ol white roadster.

Appreciate all the kind comments.

More to follow.....

Enjoy 68roadster and thanks,

Well we have to stay together! I am sur eyou are aware of the old saw which goes, " United we stand, divided we fall."

Now as a little trivia tidbit. A guy I work with was just in Vegas where they have the drive a Corvette C6 demo for $10.00. He paid the &10.00 for the demo drive. One of the Corvette's is a six speed and what they do not tell you is that the max speed you can do is around 60 MPH and not to get out of second gear.

Now what fun is that? :ugh

They also have a track for the Hummer, complete with a 60 degree incline they park it on, which he said was well worth the $10.00

If and when I ever get a new Z06 I can guarantee ya it won't be yellow......

(and it won't be silver either!) otfl

Just what I told her after getting out of it yesterday!

She even offered to let me drive it to work today but I resisted (somehow) and told her no.

 

[82ColEd]

Jane Ann

Thanks JA......

This one was just like the 2004....she makes the comment about wanting a Vette so we go shopping....just when I've had enuff she wrangles a deal.

The 2006 was a result of her saying that she was tired of white and wanted red. 2 dealerships later that changed to yellow.

We walked away from this car on Monday (paperwork error), they were calling us back on Wednesday. They did us right in my opinion.

(even if it is yellow).. :L

Thanks Stefan

I knew this was coming, right after she said she really liked the yellow instead of the Victory Red.......
