Default Just an Observation

anyone contemplating buying a vette should not read this forum. definitely would scare most people off. Or cause them to get a second job to pay for all of this.... :auto:

I got my wife a second job instead :boxing

Nah, just go to or stay in school so you can have a good job that lets you pay for upkeep on Corvettes...

Heck, if I had room I'd have another one!!!! :cheers:

Naw, the best (i.e. cheapest) way to have a nice older Vette is learn to do everything yourself. But then you might find you've run out of time. I have half-restored C4 parts everwhere.

I agree if you like to work on stuff this is the way to go. Next week I pick up Vette number 2 the only problem is the wife and I are fighting over this one because it will be much faster than vette number 1.

The solution..... Bring vette number 1 up to speed. :D
