Just ordered a new car

I had my heart set on a new gen 3 Lightning to go with my other Lightning.I think ford is really making a mistake but oh well.If they dont want my money,Ill give it to GM. I just ordered a 05 white Z51 vette coupe w/ removable roof. It will look good next to the lightning in the garage.Im sure it will be a blast to drive .Its costing me $47,400 out the door which really isnt too bad . It is supposed to arrive in may somethime (aprox) I love my Lightning but ford can go screw themselves for not being loyal to Lightning owners.They certainly sell more Lightnings than cobras too.Idiots.I hope chevy comes out with a sport truck equivalent to the lightning.Ill buy that.

Ron, I don't think you'll ever worry about getting jacked while tooling around Houston... with the entourage of cops that will be following you around 24/7!

I'm with ya Quick,
I ordered my C6 two days ago. I also will have to wait until May. I think you copied me. I ordered a White six speed, Z51.

I might get crap for this and i am indeed ready but I went with an automatic. My reasoning for this is simple. To me I bought it for a cruiser type car more than performance.When i am in it with my wife,I really dont want to shift it.It will be a nice car to go out to dinner in or a function.I probally wont put more than 3k miles a year on it anyway.I also went with steel grey interior.I think with white it will be a nice Bright car.Some would argue that if I am only going to drive it once in a while,It should be 6spd,And I partially agree but for me auto is better.The only reason I got Z51 is because I think it is a BARGAIN just for the brakes nevermind the gear change and other things.

What about it Wes? If you had to give up one (the L or the Vette) for a daily driver whitch would it be? I would really like to talk to you sometime soon about the decision I've made.

At first I was surprised to see no tools in your garage, but you must keep them over at your mechanic Mike's garage..
