Little Red Corvette


The DH and I have owned several corvettes over the years although I had always imagined myself in an XKE. Alas. You can't always get what you want.

The current ride was in the car spa for some body work last week. Driving in Dallas is tough, people. These cowboys have no respect for your wheels. I imagine they're angry that we're not all still saddling up our steeds and, if you ask me, some of those SUVs amount to wishful thinking. At any rate, the auto surgeon insists the old gal is going to need some serious internal intervention in the near future, which raises the question: invest or divest?

Neither of the beauties pictured above is our vehicle du jour, but I'm certain I could be very happy in the little slinky black number. Unfortunately, the tax man has recently cometh to our house, and, let me put it this way, we should probably consider a larger roadster just in case we have to live in it.

Are you sure I'm not adopted? I have no idea what an XKE is.

Corvettes are way out of our price range, older or newer. Like you, I could probably suffer and drive around in the black one. Nice.
