Oh, how could you not have pics of your '06 C2? Was it that bad looking?

Nice looking 'Vette, btw.

Alk, how much did you get for the wife? and is the new model any cheaper?
1974 Ford Mustang
???? Triumph Spitfire
>>> Alfa Spider
Porsche 944
1990 Chevy Corvette
Porsche 996

Other cars also like my Blazer, Escort etc... Used as daily drivers.

Porsche 997 maybe someday but do not kill me it is too close to the 996 so I think I will save my money till the next generation.

Hey, you guys aren't following directions!

The thread is about listing and showing your SPORTS CAR evolution!!!
....unless you consider your family wagon a sports car.


Okay, was finally able to dig up some pics of my SPORTS CARS to date:

The first is of my '85 Z which I had since day one and just sold last July.

The next is of my '01 Boxster, which I sold in '05 just before taking delivery of...

And finally, my latest and greatest.
