Hey guys,
My name is Mike, I just joined up last night after I bought my fourth car. It happens to be a beautiful 89 White Corvette Convertible with black top and perfect black leather interior. It is automatic with 50K miles, but looks like it just came off the showroom floor. The Zaino is in the mail and the garage space is wide open .
My Daily driver cars are my 1992 Saturn SC 5spd or my 2000 Olds 2dr Alero<<<sweet.
Not bad considering I'm 18. And NO my cars are NOT mommy and daddys cars, they're mine. I've been working in managment for sometime now and been saving my money for a car since I was 14 . Okay, well I should get back to work

Mike
