Join the club.

Bruce, what he means is when you drive through a high school parking lot with Corvettes like the ones we have, you do get the stares. Everybody seems to notice then.

That's because they are the Great American Sportscar!!!

Mike, is that a manual transmission? I'm not sure if they are 5 or 6 speed though in that year.

The most important thing is to buy the absolutely best car you can afford. It is so difficult to maintain motivation on a project car, when it's in pieces in the garage. For your first car, try to get something that can be a series of weekend projects.
Above all, good luck on whatever you eventually get.

That's pretty sound advice I think. You have to learn to crawl before you drive. ...or something like that

Well, the notion of a project doesn't really frighten me too much, I "restored" my first car when I was 13-14. A '66 Chevy pickup C20, redid the entire interior, currently I am driving a '72 Firebird I did a little restoration work on so BRING IT ON!!!!!! Oh and by the way, thanks for the advice guys, its all good stuff!
