Default Well ... (gulp!) ... here goes!!!

Everyone, in about an hour I'll be sitting in my dealership completing the paperwork for delivery of my 2000 coupe! Lottsa money, lottsa anxiety (is it the right car, did they lie to me about anything, yada yada yada) ... but CAN'T WAIT for the moment. Please pray to the Corvette gods that all goes well! I'll update you all later tonight.

Well EVERYONE! thanks so much for your congrats and sincere well-wishes but, as you will see if you read on, it didn't work out. Back to the drawing board unfortunately. If anyone knows of a GREAT deal on a GREAT car, please let me know. Thanks again all.

I too was hesitant when buying my used FRC. After the ride home I couldnt believe that I waited that long to buy one. The BEST money I ever spent.
