Little Red Corvette

I was waiting for my friend, S, today.  We have been planning to go out to dinner and I hate driving very far these days, so we ended up at the restaurants at Bidaa.  While I was waiting for her, I watched a pretty red Corvette drive by with 2 ladies wearing hejab inside.  I thought that was pretty cool and forward-thinking.  Then, I watched as my friend, S, and her friend got out!  AWESOME!  S is fighting off a bad heartache and rented the vette while her car was being serviced.  That is so cool and I am so jealous.

I feel like a fish out of water without a sports car.  I have ALWAYS driven sports cars (except for once back in the 80's when I had a Grand Prix that I had a love affair with). All the sports cars I've had have been manual transmission: I had a Honda CRX, a Formula Firebird, a classic "Smokey and The Bandit" '78 Trans Am with racing slicks, a 300ZX twin turbo, and then a Stealth Twin Turbo.  I sold the Stealth about 4 years ago and ever since, I have felt like I'm missing a limb (or a stick shift...).  I don't feel good.  I don't feel like me.

I want a sports car.  I was thinking about the Camaro, but then I saw that pretty little corvette and my heart went pitty patter.  It HAS to be manual transmission, however.  Too many nancy-boy girlie-men around here driving gorgeous sports cars and then ... the let down.... an automatic gear shift.  Pansies!

I think it is time to do it.  I feel the need for speed again.

    I say just go for it DG. Speed thrills and try the new Mustang 5.0,It's awesome. Camaro's are hard to live with.

Thanks for stopping by and it is so nice to hear from you! Just a few words on commenting: Through this blog, I won’t tolerate intolerance, hatred, finger-pointing or personal vendettas. If I even get those types of comments, I will most likely delete them because I believe it defeats the purpose of positive efforts and energy. Stop the hate.
