Even more exciting, maybe OP can buy a Tesla for his wife and they can race each other at the track?

If you like speed, then skip cars and go get an IF-1 Air Racer. Hell of a lot faster and cheaper too.

This.


It's fun to go fast. No one would be here on a Corvette forum board if they didn't feel that way. Is there more "soul" with an ICE vehicle like we all grew up with? Certainly.

That doesn't negate the fact that he gets to go fast AND have enough room for the family for a weekend trip.

I get the good natured ribbing, meant in fun, but some folks here really seem to be mean spirited about it, which defeats the purpose of coming here, for fun and fellowship.
