Why not, It's got the convienient carrying handle for when you break down. (or flip over, which I doubt could happen).

Personally, I like the cow catcher up front.

What are the odds the high bidder becomes a forum member then starts complaining about how they got screwed by an ebay seller? After 5 pages of detailed, helpful CF responses, the buyer disappears into the sunset.

BTW, that car looks more like a Toyota Supra my dad had than a Corvette.

Because someone wishes they had a Ferrari F-40 judging by the rear body work on the car.
