If you are in the market for a C3 Corvette, I'm not sure this one is the one you want. You've been saving to buy the car of your dreams, and are ready to spend your hard-earned money on a classic car. You stumbled across this one, and it looks amazing. You can already see yourself cruising in it on a summer day, tops off and windows down, listening the rumble of American thunder. I hate to say it, but this car is likely to disappoint you. You want originality and prize the trophies and accolades of the car show circuit. I understand. I love car shows, but you need to activate your blinker and turn down a street that has those kinds of cars on it. You want a comfortable cruiser, who doesn't? But I'll go ahead and tell you this isn't the seat for you. If things like numbers matching is important to you, this car isn't your match. And if you need things like air conditioning and power steering to make you happy, this car will make you sad. 

However... 

If you love the smell of burning rubber in the morning, you might be interested in the amount of torque hiding under this hood. If you think its funny to mat the throttle and watch the eyes of your passenger go wide in alarm, you will love this car. Of course, you won't be able to watch the eyes of your passenger because the car has just catapulted you forward nose up at an alarming rate, and you need to grab second gear in a hurry, and while you're doing that your other hand has a death grip on the steering wheel to keep the car pointed straight. If you are that kind of guy, this car is your kind of fun. You also should be the kind of man's man who rejects the comfort of climate control in favor of feeling the warm sun on your head and cooling wind through open windows. The idea of being a little afraid doesn't scare you, and you are a risk-taker by nature. You would rather drive a car than show it, and the thought of a Sunday morning spent thundering down a quiet country road makes you happy. You can turn a wrench if you have to, but probably know a guy if it's something you don't want to tackle yourself. If this describes you, let me help with the following pros and cons list...

In summation, her name is Ginger. She needs a quiet man who can be strong, patient, and understanding of her flaws. And also understands that her flaws are also some of her greatest strengths. She needs someone who sees her for what she is and appreciates what he sees. She's like a beautiful redhead with an Irish temper who can sometimes yell and drink too much, but who is so alive with life and laughter you can't get enough of her. She needs someone as wild as she is, who can take what she gives and give it right back with more to spare.

Is she your type?

Read her story before you decide if you are man enough, and if in the end you still dare to take her on, then you aren't the kind who will be disappointed.
