It's ok, we all get hosed in the maintenance department but it's the price you pay for having some of the nicest lines on the road :yesnod:

Bought a car off E-bay once from some guy in New York... it was DISGUSTING. The entire interior was like, covered in dirt and garbage. :mad :mad
Hopefully you didn't get taken too bad.

Re: Got my vette (pupko_power)
We are all very interested in your project Vette as most of us have been there. I also started with a junker Vette that i paid to much for and spent to much on. but it is one way of learning EVERYTHING about resurrecting a Vette from the dead. post some pictures and keep in touch.
