Default Picked up a 2007 the othe day!

I've been looking for a couple of months and finally found one I liked. My Tacoma has 230,000 miles and figured I needed a backup vehicle just in case.

2007 Monterey Red 3lt F55. It came with both tops too. I haven't had a chance to wash it or take any good pics.

Nice car, but then I'm kinda partial to that color.

I've been set on arctic white ever since I started looking. I love white vehicles. Then I decided to check out this color in person... glad I did.

I had a blue C5 convertible and had made up my mind that I wanted a yellow C6 until I found the Monterey Red. It's a pain to keep clean here in the desert.

Monterey Red and Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat are the two most tastefull reds colors on Vettes, and look especially great with the transparent top installed. The F55 adjustible magnetic suspension is top drawer, as is the 3LT interior. You might want to consider installing GM splash guards ASAP to help save the paint behind the wheels driving on the roads shown in your picture. Enjoy your new ride!
