Finally did it this afternoon, and came home with my new-to-me 96 LT1 coupe. Me and the wife went out tonite and cruised around looking at Christmas lights.....kinda funny because when we were dating we did the same thing in a MG Midget.....this time though, we had heat. Thanks to all the folks who told me what to look for and check. I used the checklist and eliminated a lot of junk before buying this car.

Congratulations on your 96 and that sounds like a great first cruise. You have got to get some pictures posted this weekend so we can see your new ride.

Having fun so far.....I blame my Dad and older brother for this continuing affliction. When I was just a snot-nose the carport was filled with Pops red and white 58 and my brothers black and silver 61. My old lady has been looking at Corvette stuff online all nite.

later, tiny

Congratulations. I am flying into RDU Sat morning and then driving a rental down to Goldsboro to pick up a new-to-me C4 and then driving her back to Michigan.
