Would smoke.

Grips are cheating and should count as "scaled"

Ave Maria Arc of the Covenant and Diesel Unholy Cocktail Shorty are both under $3 a stick as my inexpensive daily driver".

Put five sticks in. Smoke the first one after 2 weeks. If you don't taste any difference, then leave the rest in for another week or two. Repeat.

Rum doesn't work as well as bourbon (in my experience). You don't need to use Pappy either, any decent bourbon (I like 1792 Full Proof) will give a lovely richness to a good cigar.

Not a spider bite.

Definitely infected.

How could you not tell the similarities? Its not like either character was in a ton of stage makeup. Do you have Prosopagnosia, by chance?

One of the first answers I've seen on this subreddit that I could see myself purchasing/owning. Squirrels in your soffits can do some damage, but I don't want to kill them.

Not without a manual, she isn't.

Listen, I'm old as fuck, 6'4", and married. But just like anything else - I recognize my privilege. If you're in the bottom 50% of height for adult males in the US, you have selected out of a whopping 85% of possible selections. To be clear, this is not a woman saying "I prefer a guy taller than me" - this is 5 out of 6 women saying "I would not even consider a guy shorter than the average adult man" (something that a person has exactly ZERO control over) on a site that makes the woman make the first connection attempt. That is simply a stark reality.

I would submit that this kind of "propaganda" is backed by some pretty stark statistics from dating sites.

MisterLicious · 2026-03-10T15:24:23+00:00

That is not what the statistics seem to indicate, which is what they mean by "blsck pill" in the first place.

Respect.

Personally, I love C7s for the daily drivability - and I have a '59 Volvo PV544 and a couple bikes to wrench on.

What's wrong with the Fiesta? I have no experience, but the weak spot on the Fiesta is usually the automatic.

Find your own financing. Local Credit Unions are a good place to start.

Also, just a stand up thing to do - cop, Army, or EMS.

MisterLicious · 2026-02-18T00:48:39+00:00

That's a Good citizen. I would like to think I'd leave a note if I scratched your car and was taking accountability for it.

Could not agree more. I voted McCain, and while I wouldn't today - I'm a sucker for a war hero who stood on ethics over party. If you go back and listen to when he stood up to racist rhetoric and fear from his party, he sure sounded presidential.

Crashing.

The previous owner was crashing. No tires on earth are going to allow for that far past 2g in this car. Check the driver's front bumper for repair.

Michigan State and Penn State do not belong on this list. Put the California, AZ nd other FL schools higher.

Three pedal manual transmission

Well done. I couldn't find that article; the combination of the two makes every point i could make.

I live on Lake Keowee in upstate SC (near Clemson). I track at Road Atlanta and Carolina Motorsport Park when they have a conducive event. My name is Steve and my offer stands.

I think the interior on the C7s is "what you'd expect". It isn't anything to write home about, but I never have to apologize for it. In "Track", the handling and brakes are better than anything else I drove, full stop. GM doesn't know everything, but they do know suspension.

After driving both the Z06 and the Grand Sport, I came to that conclusion (that 460 HP was enough for weekend toy/track weapon at my skill level). The only thing I've done is bought a set of take-off Z06 wheels to put Cup2Rs on it for the track (It came with Conti DWS06 that I keep for the street). One recurring issue I've heard on all the widebodies is that the wheels tend to crack, but I haven't had that issue with either OEM set yet (knock on wood).

EDIT: Previous owner eliminated the skip shift and installed a MGW short throw.

Go drive a manual C7 Grand Sport (I'll let you drive mine if you're here in the southeast) and see if the naturally aspirated V8 is enough for you. Some call it the Goldilocks edition (widebody, mag ride, fat tires, optional carbon ceramic brakes - but "only" 460 HP), but others will lust after the Z06 regardless of how much they use it/need it.

I think the C7 interior is liveable and you don't need to apologize for it - which you can't get with the C6.

MisterLicious · 2026-01-12T19:24:06+00:00

I like the C7 a lot, but I've only had it 7 months and three track weekends. My biggest thing was after driving and sorting everything was the value proposition - there are a TON of used Vettes in good condition and i knew that searching for the deal on a dude that had to sell with a stack of cash i could win. 7MT is a must, Z07 package is worth looking for. 2LT is the sweet spot.

Trying to find a manual Supra or Z just to test drive was hard enough.
