drove my first vette today
 
my dad brought home from work, it is a 50 anniversary C5 maroon vert 6spd. he tosed me the keys when i got home from work and was like take it for a spin. boy that was a blast. it was fun fast and sounded nice. ive driven a c6 vert but i was with my dad so i couldnt fully unload it, this time i was by myself so. sure is alot more car then my 6 banger. honestly im glad to say i do have a v6, it def saves me gave and the v8 sound and power is hard to keep your foot out of.

Nice, you should've put the top down, and turned up the heat a bit if you needed to

i wanted to open it up. but factoring in customer car, salty roads and night time, it didnt seem like a good idea

Did I misunderstand?

Your father brought home a customer's car, and let you drive it?

yeah i wouldnt do anything like that in someone else's car besides mine. i wouldnt mind getting a vette insted of one of them 04 cobras i'm looking into getting

Customer as in friend. But yea that would be foolish to be reckless with any car thy isnt yours. Just to a few pulls to like 60 and I was satisfied. Nothing crazy. I'm amazed how gm designed a shifter stick that bad and in a vette no less. Ohh well. I really think gm hit the nailnon the head with this super bowl ad campaign.
