Guns For Cars

[fulldraw]

Congrats on your new Vette. You only go around once and I always have felt a corvette was a must. I had a couple back in the 60’s and 70’s and kick my self every day for not hanging on to at least one of them. Enjoy your new ride.

Funny, My dad always told me he dreamed of owning a Cadillac on day. Then he ended up with enough money to buy a dealership of them but just kept driving his beat up, cow shit covered truck. I, However always like you dreamed of a Corvette. But then I got romanced by a Mercedes AMG. Its even more fun when the kids pull up against a 4 door sedan. They think they'll show the old guy how fast their car is. Except its a twin turbo AMG type S. Not quite as fast as yours but 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Except mine is a AWD virtually no tire spin.

Enjoy the car. GOOD for you, OLD guys rule!

The fastest I have ever been on the ground was in a Mercedes AMG. He had us going 161 mph on a secondary road in Montana. They are an amazing sedan, but not a Corvette…

I knew there was a reason I was hanging on to this synthetic-stocked Ruger 10/22.

One day it'll make me rich.

Congrats shrapnel!! Those C8's are amazing. I have a good friend that has done extremely well and was able to get the Z06. He tracks it on occasion.

Nice, a mid-life crisis!

 

[SaskHunter]

I thought this thread would be about strapping guns to cars.

A mid-life crisis is just as good I guess!

Nice, awesome mid-life crisis!

When you get tired of that one….you can get a Z06….this is my 2024.

I hate to break it to you shrap, but unless they find the fountain of youth, there's only two guys in this photo that qualify for a "mid" life crisis, and they're on the right side of the line... LOL


But sweet car nonetheless. Congrats, I hope you don't wrap it around a pole, though I suppose, there are worse ways to go.

I'll be 38 in a little over a week. Looks like I'm about due for my midlife crisis.

at 40, I'm too busy for a crisis, and too broke, it's going to have to wait another decade or two, much like Shraps. I've heard it best called the 3/4 life crisis. Because you start to see that there is an end to the ride, and it's not as far away as you wish it was.

Anybody else question their firearms investments? I have a couple of nice ones but if I sold them all to buy a sports car it wouldn’t be anything you wanted to post pictures of

Or a '71 hemi Cuda.

I can’t remember if it’s a ‘71 but my Best buddies step dad has one. He used to let us drive it, now he lets his grandkids.

 

[Caseknife]

I thought, @shrapnel is selling some of his guns, cool, maybe I can get in on this, nope, don't have a C8 to trade
My brother-in-law has the same car. He took the Corvette driving school in Vegas, said it helped a lot in understanding what the car could do.

I’ve got enough guns left in the safe to buy 2 of those. I don’t want a Z06. This Z51 will go faster than any road around here is built for…

When I was a kid, my brother and I had a paper route and we would ride our bikes through town delivering papers. We fantasized owning a Corvette when we got old enough and wondered why any adult that had the money, would buy a Cadillac instead of a Corvette.

Today, kids are misguided and think that a 6.5 Creedmoor and a pipey rice grinder is some kind of cool. I am hoping for one of those losers to show up revving their 4 banger wanting to race…

Just kidding @shrapnel Hope you enjoy your Vette.

I still have the GTO, a Chevy pickup and a Ford Thunderbird. The Cuda is for someone else’s garage…
