If you could own one car and why...

1968 427 L-89 Corvette. There was only 624 ever built, convertibles were even more rare. I want to say 5 red ones were ever made. Former boss used to own one and I fell in love ever since.

After owning one for a year, I'll bet you change your mind on that 'vette. They really aren't very good cars, and the convertibles are flexy as all get out. The only thing they have going for them is looks and sound...

Still, I understand the urge. That's how I got one of my own. It reminded me of what they say about owning boats: the two happiest days are the day you bought it and the day you sold it.
