    Yeah, I wonder why they aren't more popular like the other cars. The design of their cars are so modern looking and awesome.

    I drove two Corvettes. One was a hard top and the other was a convertible. Everyone is different but I didn't find them uncomfortable.

    You are quite welcome. Here in Thailand it isn't a car that gets attention. It is motorbikes and some of the ladies on them that turn heads.;):D

    OK, Al, now the next time you start bitching about your arthritis I am just going to tell you to go outside and look at the ladies!

    Lol, I don't think you could even drive a corvette down some of the small backstreets in Thailand, it wouldn't make the corners. It took me a little bit to get used to the steering on a Stingray when my brother in law owned one, the front wheels are a long way in front of you, but it's definitely a cool ride.

    I agree with you! Funny because most of the kids here really "showboat" their cars and bikes....no baffels on the bikes, and "almost tuned" exhausts and the cars are so damn low that one bump at high speed could probably cause a backflip!

    I know what you mean. I get all weak in the knees when I see a sexy sport car like a "Lambo" or a "Ferrari". Oh well, maybe I'll hit the lottery big one day and own both of those cars. I know, wishful thinking.:):D

    No pt
    No problem, it would probably be good physio therapy for the old neck. For some reason under those circumstances it doesn't seem to hurt as badly as long as the subject of my eyes interest is visible.:);)

    If that helps I will gladly do it. I get to "kill two birds" with one stone so to speak. Get some exercise and enjoy the sights too. I may be old but I'm not deceased yet.:D:)

    I don't think it's wishful thinking at all. People win the lottery every single day. Why can't you be one of those people? It can happen:thumbsup::thumbsup: .

    Yep, but so far my wishes haven't come true so I guess buying the tickets and wishing doesn't get it either. I even put myself into a positive feeling mood and for years now nothing! Oh well, I will keep on trying. Who knows what the future will bring and "who" isn't talking. :thumbsup: :)

    Have you ever watched a show called "The Lottery Changed My Life." They have so many stories on there about people who bought tickets for years and never won anything, and then one day, "Winner!" I think that with the lottery, sometimes it shows up when one is ready for it, that "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" type of thing.

    One guy one the show said that he had been buying tickets for something like 18 years, something like that. A trucker guy. Then one day, he won over $100 million.

    I believe in "lottery wins". I knew someone who won about $25,000. and they lived in a ghetto slum, no kidding. She didn't move out the ghetto though, she just bought new furniture and I think a new car, some clothes. I guess she did not want to move because she did not have the income to sustain, for years to come, a vastly higher rent amount.

    I have been successful with gaming when I was in the States, but it is not legal here in Thailand however we do have a National Lottery every two weeks and the top prize is about 2 million Baht (about US$65000) and the lowest payoff is 4000 Baht which will be about US$125! I have not won the big prize yet!!!

    It depends on how much money I make. If I make a lot of money, then I would buy the cheapest car so that I do not get every conman in the world looking for ways of getting into my house and bank accounts to take away everything that I have. However, if I get a wife soon, then I will buy an expensive car during the first days of our marriage, maybe a Ferrari, just to keep the mood of our honeymoon going on in our marriage for a couple of years before we get children.

    I think that you can tell a lot about someone by the car they own. Therefore, I would really think carefully before choosing my car.

    All it really tells me is that that they can pay their bills if it is a nice car! But I do like your thinking. :)

    If I could own any car in the world, it would be a Ferrari. I recently saw a Ferrari go past my neighborhood not to long ago and it was black.
    You could hear the Ferrari engine vibrate my whole entire house. I thought it was amazing.

    A 1968 Mustang GT 390 fastback — the Bullitt car. Same green and everything. Just enough to turn heads, but not as conspicuous as, say, a Ferarri or a Pagani.
