Default 2005 Coupe Gone - Welcome 2010 GS Covertible

Much like my previous 2005 coupe, it did not last long. I needed a convertible. I sold the silver coupe and I purchased a 2010 GS convertible.
I love it.
Here it is at Lassen National Park on my way back from Vegas to home.

Very nice. I am more convinced than ever that my next Corvette, like my first, will be white. With chrome wheels of course...

So, as a matter of interest, do you think you'll be happy with the convertible over the long term than with your coupe?

Nice Ride. I think I met you years ago. Might have been a show at a Chevy dealer in Tygart. Does this look familiar? You had one of the best looking vettes there. Forgot it was a Vert if that's you. Could be wrong? I think it was sold sometime after that show. Hard handle to forget too.



My C5 at the time.

Absolutely! That hard top over my head just does not work for me when I have a toy. This is everything I wanted. I wanted the white with cashmere. The silver coupe needed lots of love. This needs very little.

Yes, that was me! Thanks! I put a lot of money into making that a wide body. Now GM did it for me.

You will have one. It took me a little bit to get back into a Vette.

Great! Thought I had it right but it's been a long time. Must have been and early C6 it sure was beautiful. I think that's why I wanted a picture.

Here's another I found. Not as good of the car. Glad you got another roadster. Looks like you may just be driving it home with no plates yet. You were just ahead of the times with the wide body.





I always liked this color too after I saw it at that show. Pretty rare I think. I know they had a purple but thought it was a little lighter.

Awesome John! Those are great wheels. I wished they still made them for the Vettes. They are so light weight.

That brings back good memories. That was Todd's white C6 next to mine.

Looks like you have a C6 convertible also! Congrats.

It is unfortunate that Russ Chevrolet is no longer there. :-(
