The car I drove was a 2009 Corvette Z06. It's supposed to be one of their upper end models. Again, I was a little more than dismayed at the handling, fit and finish, and overall lack of attention to details. Yes, you're right, life does not have to be mundane. But if making your life exciting means you have to go out and buy a car, then that's sort of depressing. Life is certainly more than just material stuff.
I just spent an hour last night putting a coat of wax on my 96' Tacoma. It still looks like a brand-new truck. I'm actually proud of the fact that despite being 14 years old it still runs, drives, and looks like new.

Still going on about Vettes on a Camry thread? I'd much prefer most anything else other than a Vette. There are so many cars today that are nearly as quick for less than half the price. The convertible would be much easier to get in and out of and to see out of but I like the hard top and targa top better as far as looks go. You are right most of the Vette owners make over 100K. How else would one afford one?
Your Chevelle sounds pretty sweet. Have fun with that one! I'm still chasing my classic... 1974 Trans Am 400 4-speed...or something close.
