The "maybe one day" thing is due to his lack of knowledge of the true value of our classic corvettes, which are not that far beyond C5s and indeed are often eclipsed by them.

Sheesh so suspicious. Why even leave a note at all if he was being snipey. 'Seems like too much effort right??


I'm with you...he took the time to leave a note out of respect...did not see him coming....and left...

The C5 guys wants a C3. His wife wont let him have 2 Vettes so he has to scheme his way into it.

It has to be the right vette, at the right time, and with the right story.

I have nothing against Zaino. I'm sure it's easier to clean from under fingernails than 30-year-old grease...

I had a friend over last night who owns an '03 and he was looking at my '68 saying the same thing "I'll have one of these some day!"
