Head of Corvette Development. I'd make you a car that you would all love and only a few could afford.

Test driving and product evaluation of new models. I'd love to have first hand input into what the final product looks like.

Using someone else's bankroll to search, buy, and drive collector cars for a museum or personal collection. Travel all over the world, drive on famous tracks, all of history's coolest cars, including new cars & high end models, all your expenses paid, great carshow parties, races, etc...somebody stop me.

After working hard since i was 16 and owning many Vettes and muscle cars back in the 60's and 70's. I retired early and get to drive my Z and my newly purchased 75 Vert. MY Brother and I also just purchased a 70 Baldwin Motion L88 Nova that is going thru a frame off. I think have i have the perfect job, sleep till noon, go for a swim and drive my Vettes. Plus, living in FL. for 20 years, i get to enjoy them year round. I'm my own boss, pay is good, and can't beat the sick days or vacation time.

Jack

Engineering anywhere automotive would have been cool. I'm never going to really work again, I'm too old for that.

I'd take a job at Car and Driver/Motor Trend etc---Playing with cars for a living...and writing you impressions. Well, the writing may be a pain, but trashing someone elses car to do a "story"---does it get any better than that?
