Welcome aboard, but you should be driving the vette to work everyday!

I got 20 years on the job, that's allowed me the ability to buy many toys.

We have about 15 vette owners in my building ranging from 1958-2002

And welcome to you! So, it's been a day or so....still going out to the garage to look at the car???/

I bought the same model and year 'cept it is black on black. It is a life-long desire come true, and I'm still staring at mine every chance I get! I know that feeling too!

They haul azz. But I will say this there on time and show up when they say they do. I had to call the FED-X main office to ransom a package out thier warehouse. The package was out of Mississippi and it sat 10 miles from my house for 5 days. They wont service a rural area till they get a lot packages going that way.

UPS is a far better company, but not all of thier drivers are careful drivers. Im not complaining its just amazing how fast those trucks can go.

Mojo i only have a couple of years under my belt so im going crazy on different routes everyday. I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw the ad for this car. I called the owner immediately and made arrangements to go to NY. I massaged the paint all day Saturday and its looking impressive. I put it in the garage today set the temp to 68 and took a final look. Wow, these car have an great stance to them.
