Yeah, I checked out the dealer web site and it's a steal at $190,000 (hey, it's only got 5800 miles on it). I previously had an 88 coupe that I reluctantly sold in 92 before moving to NYC when I found out the insurance and indoor parking there would be over $10K per year. A while after I moved there, I met a guy who had a Diablo and asked him how much his insurance was. He said it wasn't too bad - only about $11K a year. I then asked him how could I have been quoted $6K a year on a Corvette that was worth maybe one-tenth the value of his Lamborghini. He responded "Oh well, I've got a $100,000 deductable"...

Wow that's orange! A little too orange maybe. I like the sunset orange that GM used on the Camaro's. I guess I'd have to see this color on a Vette before making a decision. Man that's orange :eek:

Re: what colour orange? (baddmann)
mrkln's car was the inspiration for my choice, i posted the lambo pic because it shows the colour from a different angle.

How about the orange they used on Plymouth Prowlers. I think it is awesome. I am going to paint my 67 Chevelle drag car that color!!
