So, this night I went to an end-of-school party. The hostess's mom, is the proud owner of her childhood dream car - after spending 40 years of saving, looking for a totally original 1958 Corvette, she finally got one. Today, her boyfriend gave me a ride in in (I needed to go anyway, so I could go to my house and get a bathingsuit really quickly, heheh).
So, he turns it on, it gives a scream....and I swear, the idle sounded like a motorboat, it was a rather ugly sound. He gets it off the driveway.......GUNS it. The smile stayed from then on for the whole ride (45-60minutes) and 30 minutes after getting back. The msot exhilirating driving experience I have ever been personally part of. When the car was still, you could FEEL every individual explosion inside the cylinders as the car would rock back and forth! The engine gave such a DESTRUCTIVELY powerful sound, it was incredible! The elegance of the car's lines.....aggressive yet passively elegant at the front, flowing towards the back where it curled so easily into the car's rear, looking like it was a cat ready to lunge at it's prey.
I know, this probably doesn't deserve a whole thread, but I felt like sharing it with you all, in all its glorious power and beauty
