We don't like the 'waxers and gold chain types', 'big watch small penis

I picked the C-4 Vette on a regional basis for A Stock simply because of
the
numbers of them available. I don't see the current C-4 drivers selling
their
cars, they will just change the class letters on the doors. When you
consider how much Corvette you can buy for around $10,000, and the size
of
the aftermarket available, it's something that even I would consider. A
no
brainer in my book.

In B Stock, I picked the F body tuner cars because on a local basis we
don't
see much of anything else listed in the class other than a few Porsche
944's
and a lone MR2-Turbo. And because I have heard people saying that a
Camaro
with a full up Corvette engine sounds like a good deal. Something a
regular
guy might justify.
