One of my best buds traded his 2014 Corvette with 5K miles on it for a 2017 GS Corvette and drove it the next day to his vacation home in Islamorada, Florida. His 5th Corvette, and his first auto trans. The first 2 were big blocks. One of them he left keys for me to drive. I built the motor for his 1972 454 4 speed.
Another buddy drops by last week to show me his new Chevy SS with a 6.2 V8 and a 6 speed. He was taking it to redline with 500 miles on it, so naturally I did too when he let me drive it.
I tell my wife about the Corvette purchase and she tells me I can get my hot rod fix driving my buddies cars. Like she doesn't even remember my 2000 Mustang V6 5 speed parked in my neighbors garage since I drive it so little. Not real fast in a straight line, but it is fun to drive and corners well and satisfies hot rod fever fine and dandy thank you very much.
