    Never done drugs...

    BTW, lines were so cool and smooth you could launch bottle rockets off the fenders, the line between the hood and the fender that is.. They shot straight as an arrow.. Ah, those were the days!
    I'd take the 69, but I think $50k to start is a bit much for an old Camaro..

    holy! $50K to tart or finish would be too much

    Yeah, long hair, rock and roll, but smoked, drank.. Have had issues with vicodin after some sports injuries... Never got into the drug thing though.. Women, booze among other things were my problems...

    Yeah, the 69 is not cheap, in most any condition.. Believe me, I looked.. I told my wife if I was gonna spend $50k plus on a 1969 anything, I'd rather get a Lotus.

    Take my advice and never buy a Lotus. I made that mistake 2 times. :D

    I've always been a sucker for that Esprit in "For Your Eyes Only".. Cool looking car... But like most British cars, like my MGB, they can be a PITA... Always carry tools!

    BTW, here are some more pics of the Vette: http://taylor.jeremyandkelly.com/Corvette/10-23-07/

    Compare to Lotus Esprit, MGB is a quality and reliable car. I had an original one and also a 91 and I almost made the mistake of buying another one in 98 but I was lucky that it broke down (a new car) while I was test driving the car , so we took it back to dealership and I didn't buy it. :D

    Excellent handling, even better than Ferrari, Sh*tty built quality.
