Most of their lives are spent on a rollback or in the care of a repair facility !





Sorry, couldn’t resist the temptation of that open end ..........

Ferrari fanatics are like Disney fanatics.... did I mention the word fanatic. Logic has nothing to do with reality.

Those folks are nuts. I find Disney fanatics pretty creepy. I try not to judge, but I’ve seem some crazy Disney folks that are downright scary.

In regard to the cars, different goals I think for the customer base.

Personally loving the styling of the new vette. Love the C7 too. And sick deals abound on that car.

C7 Z is the best bang for the buck.

Didn’t read the article so I’m a prick but my neighbor has one of those front engine v12 Ferrari’s and it’s f@$&in amazing. The corvette would have to literally fly for me to prefer it.

Unfortunately I have Ferrari dreams and a corvette budget lol

Easy solution, 550 maranello with gated shifter and front V12 One you can fully enjoy without breaking speed limits in 2 seconds.
