Default I almost bought it..

Yep, NEARLY bought a Grand Sport... God I love that car. Price was right, timing wasnt. I dont have a house, therefor I dont have a garage and I would have felt bad leaving it outside. Had I not been vandalized last year, I probably would have got it I never thought I'd sell my Ruby, but I think I have found its possible replacement. Hopefully in a few years when I get a house, I'll have the funds to add to my C4 collection, and ****** up a GS

ouch, the pain!!! I should buy the GS, nothing sweeter theen that paint job..... The other guy doesn't know his head from his bowels when it comes to a sweet looking car.

Gene for some reason thinks my wife is cool.

Wife can have the Ruby sonce it is an auto, I want a manual, my personal choice for a sports car. Nothing like rowing thru the gears!!!

Well, it has 145K miles, so no, it does not have high miles. What are high miles anyhow? 30K 130K, 230K?

Gene has been subjected to Michigan winters where it is cold enough to alter the chemical composition of fiberglass... why else would you not take your car out
