Default Something exciting happened....

Sunday as I was out driving and suddenly my 82 went back into time.



My Vette has become one of those many "low mileage" cars that I see all the time for sale.

I guess the value just doubled on it.

I will have owned the old gal 2 years next week. And I'm still having a blast driving it!

That's cool you got a pic of it at all zeros. I have never seen an all zero OD in my life, even in new cars it's always 3 or 4 miles.
