    If you zip around in a Maranello and talk about how much you love taking care of your boys, chances are you won't have to worry about being single for long. Single and pretty girls think it is hilarious I take my puppy out for spins in a Hummer and let my grade school god-daughter drive it out on a friend's ranch.
    And an H2 is simply a giant Suburban.

    Frank:
    What if the new Vette shows up to one of our drives? Can we count that as a 550/575 spotting as it is simply a rip off of the Marenllo. Yuck! Awesome car ( price, power, presence of American muscle ) but the glaring rip off in style disgusts me.
    That being said, it is a car I would actually consider purchasing and not worry about every gear shift or bump in the road with. What's the oil change on a Vette, 50 bucks max? On a 575 at an authorized dealer it is over a grand.

    LOL! Yes,I don't know exactly What we can compare that New Vette too. From the Front,I think it looks just like a New Acura NSX,with the new Open Headlights. But,I just read in Road & Track,yesterday,a comment that it looked like a Miata from the Front...and I can see that,too...:)

    As a whole,yes,a Maranello does come to mind. (Have you seen any pix of the Prototype Car that Chevy has? Forgot what it was called... I saw it,and at first thought that IT looked just like a Maranello..Right down to the Fastback,and 2 Round,Taillights!) But,it does also look like a "Continuation" of the C5 Vette...which was around before the Maranello...)

    But,for what it is...I can certainly agree with you that 'For the Money',it's better than just about any other Sportscar made in the World. THE Best "Bang for the Buck" out there,hands down.

    IMO,I like the look of the '68-'82 Vettes the most....I Think that they are starting to look More Exotic than any New "Exotic". Maybe Chevy shopuld do a "Retro" Thing,Like Ford is doing with the Mustang,and GT(40) and make the Vettes look more like...Vettes!...:)

    In the eighties I used to have a Commodore Amiga computer (remember Miami Vice?). State of the art, but very fragile. And Commodore took week to repair it. So I bought a second one just to be covered. Sure enough one was always at the shop...

    Today,as I was Eastbound on Il.Rt.56, (Butterfield Rd.) in the Wheaton/Winfield area. I saw a Black? (or Very Dark Blue) and Tan 355 Spider headed Westbound at around 2:45PM.

    Then,when I was a few blocks from Home...still on Butterfield Rd.,approaching Summit Av. in Oakbrook Terrace. I Saw a Red/Tan 360 Spider headed Southbound on Summit at about 3:00PM.

    Anyone we know,out there? (Michael FVM...?)

    Loudvette...you Must join us for a drive sometime. We had 2 really great ones in a Row the past 2 weekends. As long as the Weather holds out...and,our Cars LOVE that Cold,Crisp Air...:). I will be up for going for a Drive. (Before the Road Salt hits,and then my Baby goes in for service...:) )

    Silver 575 exiting 53 South and turning east on Algonquin at around 7:30 pm on Friday. Quite curious to see who this is as the only other Fcars in my area I know of are a 360, two 355s and two 456s. I heard the compressed air can man lives in the neighborhood next door with his "by by cop" F40 among others but have never seen him. A friend of Skips who is a friendly and funny Italian has two awesome Fcars seen at shows lives in/near Barrington and/or South Barrington as well. But have never seen another 575 in my area.

    I believe I've seen your blue 550, TDF and tan and a stellar nav setup? Was for sale at LFSC and you showed it at the FCA party in Park Ridge this summer? If this is your car, quite beautiful.
