Thank God Gary had a better idea.

No worries CF. I won't be back anymore.

Gina was nice enough to invite me along when she did her museum delivery. Even as someone who was just there for the ride, it was pretty awesome.

A listed option is "Battery Protection Package"

From “home run” to “Aztek styling,” new Corvette Stingray draws fast reaction

Aztek engineers

I guess in this case the euphemism Asstek fits better.

I actually really like the new look, even the tail lights. I think it looks agressive and will get attention driving down the road. It took a while for the C5 and C6 to grow on me. This is the first one in a long time that I can't wait to see in person.

As far as the tail lights go, how many bitched on their CB's back in the early 70's when the dared put round taillights on the Camaro......

If you don't like my C5, you can always give it back...
