Not a great video, a gray car on a gray day. But well worth 50 secs of your time.

Hope we can keep this lot in 2009. ( The Clippers are moving to a new "homer drome" downtown. Next year. The futrue of this venure is still un-settled)

Karen used to run in the Pittsburgh Region. Attractive, Smart and has access to new ZR-1 Corvettes and is a National-Level driving talent. Now THAT is who I want to see on the US version of Top Gear! Stigette?

I've met Karen, she's run with the Detroit region in the past. She's very, very fast in a Corvette and a nice lady to boot. GM should give her as much play time as they give John Heinricy.

It didn't occur to me that Karen = Karen Rafferty. I never knew her all that well, but I knew Kent.

Wow. $117,000? $192,000? Be even better if they got rid of that candy-ass nav system and keyless ignition system and electric door openers.

Still, I'd drive it.

Me likey those sounds it makes. I guess i'll have to wait many many years until these become a victim of the uber GM depreciation.
