John,

Wow, that is amazing you like Vettes, 357 Pinto's and Winchester Model 71's. Man I wish I lived closer to you, I would be trying to meet you in person! I have not fired my model 71 in 10 years, although it is my most favorite gun, it is now a safe queen waiting to be inherited by my Son. It was my Great-Great-Great uncle Ralph's gun. It was also the fist centerfire cartridge that I ever fired.

I don't own a Vette, but someday I will buy a used C7. I do have the last F-body, a 2002 Z-28 Camaro. It is a garage queen and I drive it about 500 miles a year to keep it lubricated.

Best regards,
Steve
