Hey everyone,

He bought the car from me, and sent a text late today that he arrived home safely. I'm sure he'll have pics up soon (hopefully at landmarks along the way). Here's a teaser from the ad I posted:

http://www.vettepics.com/96Collector.shtml

(It's only a teaser because I took down most of the pics for bandwidth reasons)

Take good care of her Mike!

It's a rotor blade for a wind power generator. I'm betting you encountered that in central Texas. There's a huge wind farm out that way.

And that is one gorgeous car....glad you got a winner and enjoyed the trip home.
