The ‘vettes are nice and formidable cars but I just couldn’t own one myself. Never.

Hey, I'm with ya. No GM purchases in my future because of the hosing given the stock and bond holders of the old GM. In a traditional bankruptcy, assets are sold & the bond holders get something back. No such luck with the Government takeover. Still, the 'Vette is one hellofa bang for the buck.
But hey, Ford makes more than just pickups...check this out. Manual 6 speed, 480 horsepower. This is a come on ad, tho...just giving you an in on a yet to arrive car. A Vegas dealer. (edit) Price listed is roughly $5K above sticker.
