Default Yellow Corvettes in the west, ...
Is there a dealer in the Las Vegas / Phoenix area that specializes in yellow Corvettes with a black stripe down the middle?!?

Holy crap, I bet I had seen over a dozen of them a couple weeks ago while out there!

At first I thought, Hmm, nice ride, ..., then later that night I seen it again & thought, interesting, ..., he gets around.

Then the next day we had seen 'it' two or three more times! Wait a minute, this can't be, ..., They're everywhere!!!


Yellow with the black stripe down the middle.
Anyone else out that way ever notice that trend?!?

Looks like theyre selling old Hertz Vettes. Ive actually noticed that those are always in great shape other than a little mileage since they arent the cheapest to rent. Youll find some good deals out there on those thatll leave a little left over in your pocket for mods.

Well you can't over rev it, so I don't think there will be a problem. I beat my car every second of every day. I rev to 6500 rpm daily and I WOT whenever I safely can. I top my car out every day on the way to work. I got 185k miles on it now...

You're quite generous, if it was me I'd swap in a LR4 or a LM7!
