Greetings and Salutations
Hello everyone, Well I have finally achieved something in life that I thought was always going to be “Out Of Reach”.
I have dreamed of owning a Corvette ever since I was a child and had somehow convinced myself that it would never happen.
But while driving home from working out of state I saw this Corvette that made me drool. 2 days later my girlfriend and I went down and whipped out the credit card and I have been on top of the world ever since.
She seems willing to spend more money on making it perfect than I am.
Life is so good.
The Crossfire has been removed and replaced with a 750 QuadraJet, 17" SawBlades w/ 275/40ZR17 and GreenWood Ground Effects.
Sorry about the quality of the pics. Maybe I should invest in a better camera.

I guess what ever it takes. I'll be the one to officially warn you: "We can spend your money faster than Uncle Sam can print it"
With a carb, you have some interesting options open to you. :grouphug:

Re: Greetings and Salutations (AGENT 86)
I purchased the Vette 3.5 months ago, should have it paid off in 4 more months. I do not normally buy myself anything, but I wanted it and my girlfriend was very encouraging about the purchase. It was our first major purchase together. I have tried to get her to drive it around town, she says NO...it is your baby. I think if she drove it, I would have to buy another one for her, (What a GREAT Idea, Maybe a good X-mas gift). :hurray:

So like how do you get away with a carb? I'd can the quadrajet and go with a Holley. Those plastic float bowls tend to leak. :cool:
