I completely agree, I couldn't do just one car again. Hell I've had days where I went to go to work only to realize I had a flat tire from running over a nail the day before, no biggie, jump in another car and go and mess with it after work!

I wouldn't want to meet some of these cars at a stop light.

I dd my z28. its my only car. 175k miles on it with a blower. never had an issue with it besides breaking clutches. lol. and i still plan to drive it after i do heads, cam, intake, and bigger blower.thought about selling it for a c5z, which i would have to dd as well. reguardless, you only live once, might as well enjoy what you put all your money into.

I would have no problems DD my car at the 400rwhp level it was at....the 600rwhp level, nor will I at 800+ (AES is building it as we speak), but then again, the roads here are treacherous, and I work all the time and have a company vehicle...plus two other cars....so I think we can all agree we prefer to let em sit unless we are out to show off a lil bit.
