Drove the Avanti yesterday; it purred like a kitten and screamed like a banshee when the supercharger kicked on.

Tried to drive the Corvette; I give some slack for being stored for 5 months, but Jesus fucking Christ, what a piece of shit. (Beautiful shit.)

Love most all 'vettes, but I've never gotten into the Avanti. But man, they have a strong following.

Being the fastest, most advanced, most stylistic production car in the world, and ended a major car company, will do that.

I'm sitting on a lot of cash

I'm gonna have to buy a new car

the biggest problem is deciding what to get

no need for practicality, my wife's car has that covered

I can buy a sports car, but it is paralysis by analysis right now

At your age, buy an old sports car: the one you always wanted. Drive it occasionally, take it to the summer cruise-ins, join the club, learn how to repair the damn thing.

I already had a supercar

but the insurance was a rip off and the cops just followed me around looking to give me a ticket

I need a stealth street racer

I might have to get someone to build one for me custom

I'm getting a bus, gutting it, and renovating the insides to be a camper. Might also try some experimental stuff out as well for energy collection while driving.

See if I can't make it a long-term project.
