I can relate. ha ha. Once I was in a very tiny compact car and the chick was driving 70 on the high way like a mad-woman and screeching at the 'slow' drivers on top of all that...I thought we were going to crash...

I prefer Mercedes Benz. The older models.

Corvettes are for balding executives in their fifties who are single and desperate. Aside from being simply stunningly unattractive.

I understand what youre saying, but, in actuality...you do trust many others with your life virtually every day : Pilots when you get in an airplane, Taxi drivers , other Motorists, Doctors, Carnival ride manufacturers/operators , automobile manufacturers/service depts , same for Buses and Trains....and many other people. Many times, we dont haven any choice but to place our trust in others ; scary sometimes isnt it ?

Well, I just turned 55 today , divorced, still have a full head of dark brown hair , own a 2006 and 1970 Corvette , and dont feel desperate about anything . I find the Corvette beautiful with nice lines resembling the outline of an attractive shapely lady who is refined and non-bitchy

Well I do think the corvette is a head-turner, at least I always check out the nice ones. But frankly, I'd also much prefer a Benz...'vettes are simply an uncomfortable ride.

I like a lot of different kinds of cars. I've never really thought that one's preference or choice of an automobile brands them the way Coldwine seems to think they do. Personally, I like the 1970 Hemi Superbirds, Daytonas, and 'Cudas ... what does that make me?

If we want to be literal, yeah leaving the house can be dangerous but I see a distinction between getting in a car with someone driving very fast and if we crash, we will die and driving down the street where I have a 95% chance fo survival. Flying is not one of my favorite things to do, for many reasons. Yeah life is scary.
