Default Thoughts?

My mom might be picking up a black on black 2008 C6 Vette with the z51 package next week. Any one heard of any issues with these cars...like anything to watch out for in particular or anything thats kinda annoying? She will probably drive it daily. Or is it just pure badass and she should get it? If she gets it looks like i gotta get some more mods on the truck or the TA, cant let my mom school me lol.

You'll need a lot of work on the t/a and the truck is damn near out of the question. Your mom's gonna school you for a while man

C6's are the .. She doesn't have anything to worry about being that it's gonna be under warranty anyway.

Tell her to buy it, but that they're a complete nuisance and headache to live with. Then tell her to give it to you.

Your girlfriend told you that you can't mod your car anymore?

Who cares what the gf thinks. Women come and women go, and if you get a good one they'll even...well, ya know. Chances are the car will be around longer than the gf in most cases.

Tell your mom to get the C6, then bring it out to one of the Friday night meets so we can all get a feel for them.

Looks like it's time for a girlfriend mod. Get one that if many things you two share alikes, make one being cars! ....and a bonus would be one that can change your and her own oil as well as brake jobs. You'd be the envy of the neighborhood.

No way I would pick mods for a dodge over mods for an ls1 I agree with the gf mod. You should not have to live with that harassment!

There are plenty good women here who have just as much of an interest in cars as we do, you just have to go looking.
