Interesting question and I can see where this one's headed.
Nothing like a small red to epitomize the "man with a
mid-life crisis" huh? I've been lectured to both at home
and at the office about that one. An interesting point I
learned is that for some reason, Corvettes, regardless of
color or age will always brand a guy with that. No, I'm not
planning to seek out a red one, but if one comes along in
good shape I wouldn't kick it out of bed either. I really
like silver or grey ones though.

Oh yea, see previous note about the lectures. Been there,
done that, bought the t-shirt and had to wash the grime out
of it once or twice myself.
