It's a little known fact that 505 ponies take up two parking spaces at the gun club.

Mark, I'm up to seven ponies at the barn.

Mark, sounds like I should have kept the '85 Vette, which I bought new along with a Parker Repro 28ga. I've sold both. I bought the Corvette with the 7 speed manual/auto transmission which I thought I would get used to but never did. I should have bought a regular automatic in it. I still have the old family Mercedes 450 SL but it has less HP than the Suburban. Oh well, your photos make me start thinking again and maybe one of these days.......
Nice machine. Did you get rid of the green one?

The green one is for sale. Bruce, if you buy it I will deliver it.

BTW, it snowed here in tropical VB last night.

Nice ride Mark! Being from the Detroit area and having grown up with REAL muscle cars, I can appreciate that one. What happened to the 1000hp 'Vette that was on the table? I have friends who were working on the design a few yrs back.

The current ZR1 has 638 hp. It also costs over $100,000. Thats more than was imagined just a few years ago. I suspect with the government owning a piece of GM now, the horsepower will come down. It must be nice to know someone on the inside. They are tight lipped.
