Vette was (is) a blast, time to shift gears while the family grows. I'll have another, but I don't feel bad about it. Besides, since the C6 came out, I want one. :D The MC will fit in the bed with either the midgate or tailgate down. :dthumb:

No, as he said... with the tailgate or the midgate down makes it plenty big enough to have a bike in it!! A truck aint a truck unless I can fit my bike in it!!

nope I think Shan and some other people checked it... just one or the other... meaning I would almost always go for the tailgate!

After the threads about GasMan, etc, talking about getting 12mpg in their SUVs and trucks, you're getting a truck. :skep: Living the south is really boiling your head, man. :D I've got mine up, too. Maybe I'll end up selling the WRX instead since the vette is paid for. . if it didn't snow a few days a year here, there'd be no question. I just don't have the garage space w/ the g/f moving in and I'm not going to make her park outside. :cursin: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1056178

MPG isn't everything. THere's a cost, too, when family comes into town and you need to rent a vehicle. Or, when you need to find a buddy with a truck to bring home a sheet of plywood. I could go on and on. MPG sucks in trucks, but that's the way it goes...

I could go on and on. MPG sucks in trucks, but that's the way it goes... I'm the same way... that's why my current truck is a crew cab, that way I can put people in it, instead of saying "oh can you drive or we drive seperately, I got the truck". Also, when you need a truck, you need a truck! That's it!

What has happened to you, Shan. :nonod: :rofl: As for passengers, I had a Pathfinder for a while and have a WRX right now. I'd love to just have the vette b/c I'm sick of driving everytime we go out or go somewhere. DLITALIEN, I can do that, but you're gonna have to PayPal me $50 per pic. Thanks in advance. :lol:
