Although that rear wheel drive must be a bitch. 86 is a good year especially the sting ray vetteYeah, I love old Corvettes, too. Normally, I'm more of a Mustang guy, but my dad gave me a good deal on his 'Vette (I only payed 9k, it's priced at about 14k), and considering he just bought the new 2015 Corvette Stingray, he was willing to part ways with his baby.The RWD is sick, though. The donuts I can do in that thing... Ugh, the best. What I like about the '86 is that it's kind of an obscure year. You don't see many people driving them (at least, around these parts.) The most popular Corvette's I see are '73, '94, 2005, 2009, and 2014.The best part though is that I have this whole "'80's" vibe going on. I have the long hair, aviators, jean jacket and 70's/80's musical interest. I actually have a milk crate in the trunk filled with my CD collection. Nothing better than cruising down the freeway listening to Duran Duran or King Crimson.

I meant the rear wheel drive would be bad for those Canadian winters.
There was like a 20 year period that I hated everything Chevy made,
until the new vettes came out and I love them.
I've always like old ones though and I love the cars from the 70-80's. Like I said earlier I almost ended up with an 79 Camaro but I couldn't justify it.
And dude the car seems to totally fit your personality
