I think Conda green is more classic than the guards red.

I vote Guards Red even if Python green will probably be worth more when you sell it.
I was waiting for your inspiring words on the matter!

Saw this one near my house yesterday. It was on the wrong side of the road when I saw it initially, before it was on the rollback. Corvette parts all over the place (one of the responding police cars got a flat!). Best guess: it was cool out and still damp and our hero stood on the gas at the wrong time. Alternate: driver wasn't paying attention to stopped cars and plowed into one but the Corvette was the only car at the scene.

<-I may be biased but I vote Guards Red.
This build came out to $90,370!
It's a shame the T doesn't come in Gentian Blue Metallic it's really nice looking
This GT4 build came out to $121,430....that's $2000 more than my house cost! LOL

On yesterday's bike ride a cobra replica pulled up to a red light - sounded amazing. Loud and lumpy.

There are a bunch around here. This was white with dark stripes. Picked a bad time to hang out by the beach - it's bad enough just doing a bike ride along Manasota key!
You know they often have the same/similar FE engine that's in my mustang, but those side pipes and glass packs give it such a unique sound

PS I would suggest heading inland or over to the east coast. Nothing on the horizon weather-wise to disperse it, and winds from n, nw, s, sw over the next week will be miserable by the beach. Likely to get worse before it gets better.

Somewhere a few pages back I had posted my car getting hauled into a tow truck.
Well I finally spotted my car - back in my driveway after being at the dealership since February 4th (yup over a month).
If there was ever a time a CPO warranty paid for itself this was it. Here’s the list of what they replaced and approx cost if I didn’t have the warranty.
Transfer case - $3200
AWD coupler - $3000
Rear diff - $3500
Transmission - $8500
Pretty sure that total is worth more then the car. When I first brought it in they were able to look at it and replace transfer case within 1.5 weeks and told me it was good to go. I showed up on Feb 14th and it had the exact same problem I brought it in for. That’s when the rest of the things started snowballing and I could not believe all of that was covered minus my $50 deductible.
It’s a 2013 with only 76K (bought it in 2016 with 35K) but now it has a brand new drivetrain. Not sure if I’m glad or sad about all this but there’s no way I would have paid for any of that myself I would have told them to keep it.

Is there an explanation/hypothesis/wild guess as to the cause of this comprehensive drivetrain destruction?
