Would make for a great rig to pick up anyone who ends up in the drunk tank during RennRun :twisted:

Speaking of great rigs, ran into Schnelly at the local Trader Joes. His mods are well underway:

I think this is the look he's aiming for. Pretty good start.

Lots of square footage to cover in 996Outpost.com decals. Would save having to get it painted.

Now we know the real reason that the Vette is a "boat anchor" in his garage. Has nothing to do with a "dead battery".

You all are harsh ... it takes vision and perseverance to create an El Corvino.

And probably a borrowed Harbor Freight welder, and almost certainly a buttload of controlled substances. It’s just more proof of something that Upstate NY real estate agents and chambers of commerce have been saying for years ... too much sun can mess with your head.

Dear God. That Corvousine must rattle and squeak. I’d be interested to see the stats for clients w/ mullets vs those without.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

The boat anchor lives, btw. Waiting for a $14 targa top bolt. You people who bitch about 996 part prices should shop around for parts for a 22-year-old half-standard, half-metric Corvette. I had to pawn my best gold chain and my entire bolo tie collection.

Don't forget the "Rogaine for Chest Hair", I hear it sells well on the black market.
