I laughed at your choice of words. But some might suggest (in another certain thread ) she is a loser simply by being married to me.

She isn't faster.......................but she is far better trained.

Thanks guys. I don't think they mean any harm...........................yet. But having the engines warmed up might be a good idea.

And Mrs. Number 3 and I have often discussed that she is the most overly trained pokey driver I know...................except on I75 where a 4 cyclinder Malibu only managed 27 mpg. Starting to wonder about that now. She has actually driven on (not at speed) some pretty cool tracks back in her Corvette days, and had to "evaluate" a couple of the advanced driving schools that used GM products.

That is awesome! I would love to "have" to evaluate driving schools!

One of them was started by one of the Corvette C5R drivers and he was using Corvettes from GM. Of course somebody had to go and make sure everything was OK for Chevrolet


Did I tell you about the 3 trips to LeMans I passed on for fear of flying? Yeah, only would have had to pay airfare and some food. What a STUPID I am.

Pay attention to developments for the VF Commodore.

Impala just got the LFX and a 6-speed transmission, not much else though. What about the 2013 Malibu? Verrrrry nice car.
2013 Malibu is VERY nice! Unfortunately, not a RWD and slightly too 'family-ish' for me.

Too bad they don't have a 'Chevelle' variant for the Malibu like in the old days. :(

Oh: PS: I am looking at getting myself a 1970 Chevelle. This one is $23000. Thoughts?

EDIT: Yes, a bit off topic of the whole Z thing, but not much to say about them till after the Oshawa meet, I think

Not stupid at all! I know guys that are deathly afraid of flying.... that fear is no joke! We actually had a guy pass out in the back of a greyhound as he got launched off a carrier!

Super nice. No knowledge on the price, but is a very nice looking car

And it's fair game cuz no matter what it can lead back to discussion on a 1970 Z28. It's like the 6 degrees of separation/Kevin Bacon game. No matter what you post........................it can be related to a Z28. Simple!
