lol @ where thread is going

my .02 cents are- in Texas it is illegal to have ANY cover over the plate (as posted by someone way earlier in the thread) AND everyone knows how the police like to bully you fbody owners around about your front license plate lol so of course they will pick out something like that

and I wouldn't do duct tape, how about painters tape?

well, I've seen people use it before to prevent road rash on expensive cars. If people will put it on $50,000+ cars it couldn't hurt your license plate lol

I am just jacking around trying to make the day go bye. You are the one that has the sad life of needing to buy a car to pick up chicks. How well is that working out for you??? I know for a fact it hasn't been working out well as it sits on blocks in front of your house.
LOL, I'm just making the time go by as I pack (moving my chick and I into my new place). I'll be sure to trade my car in as soon as she says yes. Maybe then I'll get another Z06, but I doubt it seing I got the Cobra over the vette. Just could never own a Camaro, like I said having dudes run up to my window at every light just isn't my thing.

Maybe this tricplate will be good for you though, that way you wont have 10 dudes tracking you down after the next car meet wanting a 'ride'.

Well as soon as your ready to sell it I am sure either a chick or a flamer will be there quick to pick it up!! Had plans for a Vette myself but had to have a back seat to haul my kids around. (yeah and I guess all the dudes too) Good luck with the chick she is probably going to be pretty confused when she finds out her roomate is actually straight and likes her.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience, and I'm sure that was a rough transition for you and her.. Lucky for me my S/O isn't scared of the color yellow, or cars much faster than the run of the mil f-bod, so there has never been any problem with me owning the mustang.


Of course it also helps that unlike you I don't bring any 6'5" dudes home in thongs. That may have been why she had always seen you as some what more of a 'friend'. Who's to say?

I guess what it comes down to is I'm manly enough to not be terrified of the color yellow. Maybe because it doen't set off any raging homosexual urges in me. If it did I'd probably be typing the same rebutle as you right now.

Seems that you are using the S/O and trying to hide that you are yet again talking about your boyfriend.

cars much faster than the run of the mil f-bod
Not to worried about your banana hammock car.

I don't bring any 6'5" dudes home in thongs
I like how you looked at that picture long enough to justify a height.

Maybe because it doen't set off any raging homosexual urges in me.
Maybe that is because you cant flame on anymore than you already do.

should be typing the same rebutle as you right now.
Yeah I know.

Dont hate just because you were nominated for prom queen and didn't win.

Yes it would be a nice car if it were painted another color and someone didn't get so defensive over the stereotype.

I love my car and the paint color. You don't see this exact car anywhere. (I've only seen one in the 6 years I've had it.)

I've found that most people who hate something simply can't afford to have one. So they buy the cheaper version and then say, "well it's just as nice".

I know because I hate third gens, and lambos. LOL!

I have a yellow bmx bike...

I'm not that into yellow, and every car I've ever owned has been a different color.
