Vette(s): #1 -1969 Corvette Coupe Riverside Gold, black interior,MN,A/C,350/350,PS,PB,window cranks. #2 -2000 C5, black/black, 6 sp, Bose system & lots of buttons.

Well, as you all know............my C3 has been in the shop now for over 3 months. All I've had to drive is my C5. So right before Christmas, I was at a stop light waiting for it to go GREEN. It goes green and I put the C5 in 1st and proceed to move forward, then........"WHAM" I get hit in the rear! Son of a Biscut Eater, what was that!!??? It was a RED Dogde NEON........was I not going fast enough for them?! I get her info and she gets mine, I report the accident to her insurance company.

To make a long story short, I finally got my car back TODAY and I'm out of the Nissan Sentra Rental Car. Man, what a BIG DIFFERENCE........I sure missed my Vette, but the little Nissan wasn't bad (at least it was transportation). I'm thinking maybe I should get a little panty waste car to drive to work and around town and only take the vettes to special occasions. Would this make me a panty waste??

Micki, I don't think it would make you a panty waist, just wanting to keep your cars in good shape. The way people are today, they don't care about anyone elses property; opening doors into your car, backing up and hitting your car, drunk driving, etc. I had a friend who had his car keyed at work. I only drive my Vette on weekends or occasions where I won't be leaving her unattended for long, never to the mall or grocery store. I've got a small pickup truck for all the everyday trips. Wish I could drive her everyday though.

Dang, I must have led a sheltered life. I'm 63 and that's the first time I've ever heard the word pantywaist. I had to google it.

Don't worry Miki...according to the definition it only pertains to boys. You're home free.

Panty Waste	Definition
	A weak male born with a great deal of female traits but with just enough male traits to get him into the boys locker room. Example: Brian prances around the locker room like a freakin 'Panty Waste', he must be a �Dabbler�.

Gosh Micki I hope not. If so there's somethin about you I sure didn't know.................

I think you would be called, "A small Car Driver".

Wow, I'm with Jim......first time for me also.

So "T" ......if that is the case, the definition. Would you really want one of them "panty waste's" in the locker room?
