Default First Vette!

Picked up a 1991 Coupe Wednesday. Bright Red, needs some TLC but it's a vette!

I stopped by and looked at your Vette before you bought it. I work near that car dealer. Congrats on your buy and welcome.

Needs a bunch of little stuff, but I like to tinker.

I go to Nascar when I get free tickets or when it"s somewhere that you can see the race. Did plenty of drinking @ Bud at the Glen in the 80's and 90's.

Buktlst - what did you think of the car when you looked at it?
