Nice tour by the way Doug:beerchug:
I cant remember a time when i had more fun than that tour as an adult.

Its pretty nice because you get chances to "stretch your legs" in each car. We are all on walkies and lead car will give warning if anything is up ahead like deer or the boys with the cherries and berries.

Lots of space in between all the cars and also a tail car, in case you take a wrong turn.

Very nice! That color scheme looks mean.

I know it's not ideal for the track but I wish 'vettes had airbag suspension. The ingress and egress is a little tricky for the less athletically inclined :sweat_smile: I did read the newest version pulls the seat back automatically to make it a little easier.

I never had a problem with Vettes because they have enough clearance over my head. I often bang my head trying to sit in $hitboxes since even though it's easier to get your can (hah, on-topic but not "that" can) in place on the seat, I hit my head on the frame. And I'm not tall by any stretch.

So I suggest buying a few Corvettes of various generations and see if it changes your opinion :)

"Hey Hefe, would you say I have a PLETHORA" of CORVETTE'S :laughing: :grin: :wink::beerchug: Sorry, could not help myself on this one:rolling_eyes: Be nice just to have enough bank to buy a plethora of them:v:

Really enjoyed this piece. The build looks fun. I luv the classic Hondas. Engines that was built to last and withstand more are a gem. I kinda like the vids on moding cheap junk cars

Speaking of engines that lasts, this thing has 400k miles! I would not pay 50k for the new Civic. Not the kind of car I want to be seen driving at my age.

This was my Favorite car while I was in High School, a 1972 Opel GT, This was a Really fun car to drive. The speedometer went up to 115 MPH but I buried the needle and still had plenty of gas pedal to go. This is not my car, I don't have any pictures from back then but it was this exact make and model. same color too.

I thought Opel was European brand. Cheap compact that you see in Germany a lot. Didn't know it existed in the US.

OMG the sound. Anything Gordon Murray is involved in is gold.

I used to own one of these, and it's something I would luv to keep forever. Such a great looking Honda design, and so reliable. It never gave me trouble. I don't even think I was the ideal owner for it, but it kept itself so well despite my negligence. I think a bigger version was made for Acura, and it was called Legend, which looked really great. I really luv how classic Hondas look. Everything looks like it was built with care.
