They have shirts saying "Real men ride the Dragon at night and in the rain". I say it takes a REAL man to drive the Tail of the Dragon with hands up! LOL! That pic was taken by a professional photographer, with GREAT timing. It took about 20 pics at different times and days to get that pic. All of the pics except this one had 3 hands in the air. The BRIEF change from left to right turn gave me that one second to get the pic, and he took it with perfect timing. We did it enough times, I think he knew what to look for that time.
As for the Aston Martin, WAY cool cars, and if youre going to dream, dream big.
As I said before, I'm pretty happy with our fleet of GMs - 88 Olds 98 Regency 2 dr coupe w/66,000mi, 99 Silverado Z71 Sportside w/198,000mi, 04 Monte Carlo Intimidator SS (My daily driver) w/87,000mi, and Lucy, LadyTs 07 Solstice GXP w/12,000mi.

 

 

Not so much giving up, as loosing the precious things. The Solstice was a great investment in improving attitudes in this house. LadyT needed another car for a daily driver, with the Silverado getting up there in miles, so I bought that for her as something fun to drive daily when possible. The Olds only gets driven to Church on Sundays. REALLY! Besides, I got a GREAT deal, and 0% interest. And at 350hp for a 2.0L motor, what's NOT to like! Look at the pic!

 

Love the solstice. I bet is a ton of fun.

 

When I offered to buy LadyT a new car for Christmas last year, this is what she picked out. When we are at stop lights, even the Vettes look at us. Everyone knows what a Vette or a Beemer looks like. This was HER dream car. Real AMERICAN power in a roadster. Yes, its not a V8, but there are a lot of V8 Solstices and skys out there. But 350hp from a 2.0L is nothing to sneeze at! Hoping to do a turbo upgrade this next spring to put it at about 420hp! 350 to the wheels! As for the V8s out there, how about an LS7 427 Solstice?

Yeah, its the real deal! A 427 in a Solstice!
A guy named Wade, "Wade's Garage" is doing them, along with several others.
Dream car? Dream engine! THATS my dream! An LS7 in Lucy! AMERICAN power! I'm an AMERICAN tool & die moldmaker. This kind of thing is REAL important to us. My wife, LadyT is UAW. Important to her, too. AMERICAN MUSCLE.
