I've never considered myself much of a Corvette person. . .

But I think I have changed my mind.

A friend of mine (yes, that friend) has a 1997 Corvette. He's done a bit of work to it, exhaust and intake, etc. I've driven it a few times before, and been impressed. He offered to sell it to me, and loaned it to me for a few days.

I think I have to buy this car.

Not only is it silly-fast, but during the time I was driving it, I averaged 26.5 mpg.

As much as I drive, it will almost pay for itself in gas savings over my BMW. (I just did the math. It'll take a little over nine years to pay for itself. Oh well)
