He's a purty thang, ain't he?

BTW, Noobs, roadster can be triple colored, e.g. triple-black, meaning
black body/interior/top BUT coupes are not triple-colored, even if they have a red body/interior/removable targa top. The standard top color is the body color. So don't be describin' no coupes as triple-anything.

I've been toying with the idea of getting the custom plage "DSBLVET" for a while. My boss always went around joking with everone "Yeah, Joe was in the military, he has a Disabled Vette".... since my car was always broken LOL

I respectfully disagree. The 35th Anniversary is commonly referred to as Triple White.
