:: New 'Vette ::
I don't write about this much but I'm a huge automobile fanatic. I subscribe to two different car magazines, I stare at exotic and classic cars when they drive by the way some guys look at a hot chick in a thong, and I can make the distinction between variations of a single car line, like the difference between between a 2004 Porsche Boxster and a 2006 model within seconds.
My favorite car is the Chevrolet Corvette. Back in my youth, when I read book after book about the car instead of doing my homework (which is why I'm a 33-year old waiter), I could recite horsepower figures for each engine, depending on the year model. I know the story behind the 1963 Split Window. I could tell you who the Father of the Corvette is.
So imagine my reaction when I read about the new ZR1. Even though I'm nowhere near close to being able to afford one (or even a "regular" Corvette for that matter), reading this article made me giddy.
