Multi-Dimensional benefits of the Z

I just recently got my drums out of storage and set them up for the first time in about 18 months. I got to tell you, the level of bass drum [right foot] control I now possess is better than I ever remembering it being. I used to have like three volumes, loud, louder, and soft; now the whole range seems easy to control. I choose to attribute this new found talent to the extreme sensitivity of the Z’s throttle and the throttle control it sometimes takes to keep the Z in control. Never saw that one coming.

The multi demensional benefit that I enjoyed was when the buxom blonde 18 year old yelled from the sidewalk as I pulled up to the light,

"Just take me NOW!!"

Not bad for a 50 year old married fat guy.

I waved and drove on when the light turned green.

But I sure felt better.

It probably had everything to do with the car and the #69 on the side of the car and probably had nothing to do with me. But it sure felt good anyway.

And here I was, wondering if I should drive my car around with all the T1 decals on it....

Thanks for clarifying that for me, DJ.

Let's not sell ourselves short...we are all studs, but somehow much better looking in the presence of a world class automobile

You think you get looks in a stock Z06, just ride around in a Pro Solo or T1 car with the numbers on!

Just towing it on a trailer gets waves, smiles, high fives and thumbs up.

We,ve even had girls in sedans, with their parents driving, showing breasts out the side back windows!!!

DJ,
Are you sure this was not a cross-dresser or transvestite?

I find this to be maybe the most unusual post ever on this forum!
I like it!

kind of like going into a hairpin way too hot, we've gotten off track here. But hey, let's see where it goes. Musicians, race cars, willing 18 year old buxom blondes, transvestites. I think I see a movie here, or at least a Book, Conquest of the Zmeisters.
