That's it for 7 days. Not bad; not cheap for a poor college guy, but totally worth it. Oh yeah.
That's a helluva deal.  I pay that much for a minivan for 7 days.

Pics?

This is the only one I took with my crappy ifone. The rest are on my good camera.
This is at some gas station/restaurant/motel/? on CA-1, somewhere between San Francisco and Cambria.

Coming down to LA?

Ugh...no. We cut across through Bakersfield last night and got back to Vegas around 4am.

That's sooooo, not fun.  You could've driven all the way down the one, and could even go through some canyon roads in the Vette...

is it swift?

It is extraordinarily swift. However, I have come to the conclusion that the 6-speed automatic does the car a great injustice. It may be a very good transmission, but it does not belong here.

I just got back from the Super Chevy show, drag, and autox.
I didn't get up early enough to enter the V3tt3, but it was a fun show. Pics later.

That's pretty. Did you store the top in the car?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

The top pops right off and sits in the trunk, leaving plenty of room for two backpacks and a cooler, and more.

Want.

After I totalled my van last summer my insurance paid Mr. Enterprise to borrow an F-150. I was 5minutes late from getting an orange Eclipse, w/ stick. 

I do think I need to rent an awesome car this year.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have a stick.

Lucky you then for not getting the Eclipse.  It's a POS.

Your Vette has less pedals than my car, and it weighs almost 900 pounds more.

It's fun to let other people drive this thing. It does bring me joy to spread the good word of the V3tt3.
