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.

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

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.
