    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Can't figure out the WiFi on my cyberQ. I hear that the iPhone is very simple, the droid not so much.

    WTF? THey let anyone drive.wouldn't let me test drive my c5 years ago either. Bought it off the rotating thing on the showroom floor. In their defense it was raining and I probably wouldnt let me drive it either. I thing I was like 23 when I bought it.

    They want clout at the country club. She's a several hundred thousand dollar a year oil executive. Probably not buying a mustang. They tried test driving a c7 last night and they wouldn't let them. Possibly lost a 75k cash deal. Dummies.

    I guess if you had 100k to spend what sports car would you get?

    How much of a "track" car can she really handle?as long as its docile when she's not romping on it, should be ok.He don't really looking for a "track" car. Just something he can play with down there to have some fun. Nothing competitive.

    The problem is its for his wife mainly. And gently used is an option. She drives a new loaded range rover but want a convertible to drive in the summer. He just wants something he can retain his "man" card when he takes it out to thrash on on the weekend's or to take to the country club.

    He was looking at the new jag or Porsche 911. I'm not a big fan of either. I suggested an R8 but they go in the upper 100k range.

    budget not set in stone. Automatic would be better for her. I'm buying this for the president of the company. Not for me. If it was for me I would grab a c6 zr1. Not much feeling the c7 yet. Maybe after I drove one though.

    Zcon or Evil?

    I am one of the fortunate few that have used both. I would say the zcon is king for an all around daily driver if being loud is the main goal.

    We pay about 150 per month for all 4 of us and deductible is 1500 max annually. To have my kids it cost us about 900 bucks each out of pocket.

    My truck makes me money and I spend a lot of time in it. Might as well be a nice one.

    Well I did it. 2014 Z71 crewcab. Loaded except leather. Too hot in Texas for leather. Although the cooled seats may help. Still don't like it for a daily.

    Did my first picnic shoulder on my old smoker last night. In 14 hours I had to reload fuel 4 times. Can't wait for my knock-off to get here. I should have the temp controller before the grill arrives so I can get it all figured out in time.

    Hopefully not before 2016. Let someone else eat depreciationill never buy a used truck after owning a new one.Especially a truck. Ill pay extra for a new one just for the piece of mind. ill only buy a new vehicle if i plan on keeping after its paid off. even then buying a year or two old vehicle is still nice. my wifes 2012 CR-V was about 8K cheaper than a new 2014 with only 26k miles on it.I agree it has its place. When I do drive a distance it is far and Texas is big and desolate in many places. Buying someone else's basket case and driving 12 hours is not appealing to me.My current Silverado is the first truck I have owned new and there is something good feeling knowing nobody has sneezed on the steering wheel, farted on the leather, of wiped a booger somewhere in your truck.

    i think about that all the time and im so jelly it meant a lot more when I actually used my truck for work. Now I only get it because they forgot to remove it from my contract when I got promoted. I rarely use my truck for "work". As a matter of fact ill probably start driving the camaro as it gets finished up.

    Plus the interest rate I get on a new vehicle vs a used one save me some money. And I get a truck allowance...
