    Leo, Leo, Leo, oh man hate to see you without the Vette............................ But you know, gotta do what you gotta do.
    I get a rush EVERY time I get in my C6, LOVE working the mods and nothing beats a nice day with the top down!!
    Having said that, I accept the pains of getting in and out, the limits on capacity and passengers, fuel and parking. But, full disclosure I am fully retired now, have a fairly new CTS awd and a two car garage. So I'm OK.
    So, good luck my brother and keep these videos coming....................................

      I did enjoy the rush of stepping on the throttle. I just struggled to get in and out of the car. With my back and hip issues, being so low made it very difficult for me. That aside, it is a fast and beautiful car. Enjoy it and everything else, my friend. Thank you for watching and your kind words.

    Yeah I agree on the inside. I am 6'2 300lbs. On my 09 I just got I admit like you said you gotta fall ass in first and swing your body in and vice versa to get out. Once in though, I agree I got plenty of room and dont feel like a sardine or got my gut against the steering wheel lol. Now a C7 was a no go for me, felt like a sardine in that damn thing.

    I really like your channel. You have a funny informative presence about you man. You need to choose a niche and stick to it. I caught your channel because of the Corvette in which you got more of your viewers from. I'm just like you but I'm 59. You're yet a young buck. lol I'm thinking about selling me C6 also. I bought me a 2006 Holiday Rambler Diesel Pusher motorhome and I am looking for a car to tow. I also told my pops that I would buy an RV and we'd travel to places. I too couldn't afford one at the time and he passed in 2014. I'm blessed (thanks to TH-cam and other businesses) and taking my mom places! Buy a Jeep Wrangler! You can drop the top on one and add plenty of mods. Find your niche man and stick to it! - Michael - Boca Brothers

      Yeah, it hurts losing someone you love. My dad was my Superman. I think that had a lot to do with it. I was looking into buying an RV, but my kids said they didn't want it. Since they are too young to leave home alone while I go on trips with my wife, I decided not to get an RV at this time. As for the Jeep, my childhood friend has a 4 door Rubicon. The rest of our group of friends and myself pick on him for it. Not because the Jeep is bad or anything. Just because we love giving him a hard time. It is out of love. Since we make fun of him for it and how he got it stuck in 3 feet of mud and broke the wrench rope trying to get it out, I just can't get a jeep. I would be opening the flood gates to ridicule from the rest of the group. We have all been friends since 5th grade, so our group chats get pretty harsh. Keeps us tough. Lol. Enjoy the toys and keep watching. I tend to do some dumb stuff that make people laugh. Got some ideas for the truck and some other stuff.

    With those cons you have for the vette I can see you in a 700hp trx in a few years

    • @midlifecrisis1979
      @midlifecrisis1979  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I do like the TRX. I contemplated a supercharger for my Ram 1500, but thought I didn't need to spend the money on it. They do look slick.

    You can't tow it and they don't have spares, huh that's dumb

    • @midlifecrisis1979
      @midlifecrisis1979  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, it's not a great situation, but it is a beautiful car. You just need to decide if it is the right car for you. Thank you.

      @teddydavid2816 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hahaa yea thanks bro I definitely think it's the right car for me at this point I think I'm going to give it a go. But also thankfully I am a type of guy to avoid things in the road and slow down for speed bumps etc as I hate damaging vehicles I like stuff to be reliable and in working order so this car should be pretty good in my hands.. :)@@midlifecrisis1979

      Have they decided on when it would finally be available to consumers? Lol

      I'm not really sure but there's been quite a few sightings lately.
      Also, I think I mentioned this to you before. I have the same exact Corvette you just got rid of and I'm enjoying every minute of it! Sorry to see you leave the club. Hopefully you'll reconsider someday and come back.

      @anthonyolivieri4724 I do remember you and appreciate your kind words. I think it would be very cool to see the cyber truck out and about.
