RAIKKONEN Buys A Corvette

Maybe I'm a bit too young to fully appreciate a woman like Ms Stone, but doesn't she have considerably more than 4 miles on the odometer, so to say?

 

and Kimi did something positive this weekend, not his driving, helping others; but Sharon Stone probably has more miles on her than the space shuttle.

 

I was hoping to read about a new ZO6 or a nice 60's Vette. A '74 is worth nothing....

 

the charity is the point, not the car ...

 

come on, sharon stone did something positive as well by donating her car, let's not discount that by making fun.

 

It's called "patina".

Jack.

 

I once bought a '74 Corvette, new. What a p.o.s. It was such a bad experience I swore never to own another GM car. As for Sharon Stone--she's getting a little long in the tooth, but so am I.

 

Felt the same way years ago--Bought a new 1988 IROC, biggest pile of crap I ever bought. Never since then have I ever bought a new GM product...and never will,...

 

I'm sure no one here would turn down the vette
or Sharon Stone due to lack of or too many miles.

 

About 180k more than I would of paid...

 

I couldn't agree more. Sharon is in my opinion about an F-40 (as women would equate to Ferrari's) and I don't know anyone who would turn down the chance to take a spin in an F-40 no matter what the mileage. Early 90's both were smoking and today they could still give you a heck of a thrill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Suffice to say that Kimi's young hot wife has far less miles, and probably far more class than Stone. (Not to say I wouldn't take Ms. Stone for a spin, too).

 

I had an '87 IROC. What a great car it was. 146K, only thing I had to do was a water pump and the normal stuff. My Infiniti has been in for service more then that car ever was....guess you got a bad one?

 

She was in town here last week promoting the new Lexus IS-F. She absolutely oozes class.

maybe he'll be in a "charity mood" and give to it Sutil

Every vette i've driven has been a rattle box same with camaro.

If it was a mid sixties Stingray or somethin' that'd be kinda cool but a '74? Wha?

I've got an '86 300zx turbo that's all original and pulls strong shifts great etc. Solid steering and brakes... everything. 143k miles.

If it's for a good cause then so be it.

 

Is this just more proof that Kimi isn't really a car guy?

Or maybe he made this purchase after a particularly rough evening on his yacht

 

Agreed. He probably jump started some bidding. Nice to see a guy step up for something he doesn't need or probably want. My vote is that his checkbook and actions were in the right place on this one.

I always find it odd when people go to a charitable auction and ***** because it's not a good "deal".

 

Kimi should have spent the $375,000 someone else spent on the boat ride, instead. He would have felt more at home there than in the plastic fantastic...

If the car only has 4 miles on it, it has probably been left alone rotting for the last 34 years. I'm not sure if I'd even want it, I would think a lot of work would be needed.

Kimi probably just did it for the charity though, nice guy.

 

I would still hit it, just because.

That said, perhaps the kids have seen some more recent Sharon Stone pix.

I suspect she's a wee bit north of 50, but like I said, I'd have to, just because.

That said, you missed the opportunity to meet my wife last year. I'm a lucky man now, no doubt luckier when she's Stone's age.
