Ooooo Corvette ZR1

Sometimes I'll draft a post, and the forget about it. This one that I forgot about, so it is kinda old.

Has anyone seen this car? This is an awesome car... the OSU Dean of Arts & Sciences agrees with me! - by the way....

If our economy finds some way to run cars on ears of corn, moonshine, or hydrogen - I hope there is still gasoline available at a reasonable price for hobby cars, antique cars, etc. I really like to work on old cars, and if there is no gas to put in them... they'll lose that grunty exhaust charm. You know, the rumble.... Sure, there will be conversion kits to make your '57 chevy burn hydrogen, but the muffled wine of an electric engine is not the same as the ROAR from a gas burning, poison gas belching, tire burning muscle car!!

I really want to get this car! I gotta find a way to afford it. One way would be to put my Dad as the primary driver for insurance :). Corvettes hold their value, so I don't think I could pick up a used one on the cheap. '80s corvettes may be entering my price range, but they are 20+ years old!! I would have to rebuild it, most likely, and I don't do heavy work on cars. One hand, with something old like that, it may be possible for me to do the work. On the other had, it is a Corvette, and they didn't make half a million, so finding parts could be really difficult. Other cars, like a '67-'69 Camaro, have nearly EVERY part available from someone since they are popular cars to restore. Maybe I should get one of those... a 40+ year old car!!! They are very stylish.
