You park a car and wait until someone wants it. A glorified valet.
By the way, CHATGPT called and it said don't bother submitting any more word puke.
Whatever, not spending anymore time with shit stirring trolls, enjoy your evening.

The C5 Corvette, also known as the fifth generation Corvette, was produced by Chevrolet from 1997 to 2004. It was a significant departure from the previous generation of Corvettes, as it was a completely new car designed from the ground up. The C5 Corvette was introduced with a new design, a new platform, and a new engine, and it quickly became one of the most popular and respected sports cars on the market.

The C5 Corvette was designed with a focus on both performance and comfort. It featured a sleek, modern design that was both aerodynamic and visually striking. The car's lightweight aluminum frame helped to improve its handling and performance, while also making it more fuel-efficient.

Under the hood, the C5 Corvette was powered by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 engine, which produced 345 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine was paired with a six-speed manual transmission, which allowed drivers to fully enjoy the car's performance capabilities. The C5 Corvette was capable of reaching 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and had a top speed of 175 mph.

In addition to its impressive performance, the C5 Corvette also offered a comfortable and luxurious interior. The car featured leather seats, a premium sound system, and advanced climate control systems, making it an ideal choice for long road trips or daily driving.

Overall, the C5 Corvette was a significant step forward for the Corvette brand, and it helped to solidify the Corvette's reputation as one of the best sports cars on the market. Its combination of performance, comfort, and style made it a favorite among drivers and collectors alike, and it remains a popular choice for those looking for a classic American sports car.

C5 does not have an aluminum frame. C6 Z06 was the first for that.

It's a bot. That information is out there somewhere or it would not have been used. It's not a writer making a mistake. It's AI that snagged a writer's mistake.

Maybe it needed an extra two seconds?

11 seconds. Does your writing timer measure to that small amount of time?

I could have asked that question at 10:00 AM when you have just hit your snooze button for the first time.

Speaking of knowledge and writing, after reading a few posts of his, I'll tell you whose knowledge base impresses me and it's not yours Doug. I'd put GTOGuy up against your lfaux knowledge on any day at any given hour. You are overpaid. There are people that know things and they don't have to make sure everyone else knows they know things. It just organically is brought to light. He and I have exchanged many barbs and I know I'm not on his Christmas list but I am also the kind of person that acknowledges ability. You could learn a lot from his style...but alas, you won't. You'll puke out your borrowed information for $40 and be happy chasing raccoons and mooching.

I have ZERO respect for Doug. I don't feel any need to filter anything I say. You and a few others like TheRealBitch are all in that same category.

Wish you would stop holding back.

For what it's worth, I've gone back and forth with Aero for many years and we've had our share of "heated" conversations, but he's always been consistent.

Some one doesn't like it I suggest they move on.

I've shared my perspective on this before but it is worth repeating. In your case, I think you are at least willing to at least briefly consider the opposition. I also don't think outside of politics we'd have any issue. I don't dislike you as a person. I don't know you, or rather don't know enough about you. Others here make enough of their persona known, that I am willing to dismiss them entirely.



I am nauseated by what I see happening to this country and there is ONE WAY to fix it and it's not being a reach across the aisle guy. It's not a "can't we all get along" path. It is heads rolling, table flipping, house-cleaning that needs to happen. Anyone leaning toward a soft approach is marked off as dead to me.

Aero in the barrel tonight
Hang in there sparky.

Btw-
GTOguy knows his chit. Especially cars of his preferred era.
Taurus/Hekking is a good guy. Outside of Trump we probably are simpatico.
Yadkin is a very smart man. His know it all schtick is just forum stuff.
Thomas’s chops are legendary. And he’s not the liberal he pretends to be.
Badger is a smart man with mad money skills. And maybe the nicest house on the forum.
NAV is a hottie. But also very much a lady.
DAB is probably the nicest man here. He and Norm. When I grow up I want to be like those guys.
Rob is not a snob. He is a bit eccentric. Maybe the most chill guy here.
Lisa is a super nice lady. Genuine and very cute. And married.
Trump is an unfiltered mouthy New York douche bag. And I love the guy.

If I left you out it’s not because I don’t like you.
I don’t think there’s anyone here I don’t like.
Even that liberal dude is kinda ok. Slew the liberal jew. Misguided. But not militant as far as I can tell.

Let's hear it Goober Pyle.

Here's what I didn't do....quit because of a soda dispenser.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being grossly overpaid for doing easy work. That is the reward for working hard in our younger years, as far as I am concerned. People who have paid their dues, worked their way up the ladder, and now are enjoying the fruits of their labors. It is really the way things ought to be.

Doug deluding himself into thinking that he is changing the world writing tripe about a 20 year old car for a few tarnished coins is just plain sad and rather depressing. But, frankly, if I were in his situation, I doubt if I could look at it objectively either without crying or getting drunk. Let's face it, if he weren't mooching off his girlfriend, he would be living in that 20 year old car and scavenging the dumpster behind the Pizza Hut for crusts.
