If that's a pic of you in your aviator, then I bet you're going to love the feel of that leather interior......

If you pulled up next to me, I would be torn between staring at you or staring at your sweet black vette. Looks just like my black 02 coupe.

Congrats!!

Your new 01 looks like mine did when I bought it 7 months ago!!

Mine had 22,700 on the clock, A4 and optioned to the hilt.

It doesn't look like that anymore and the mileage is now 32,700
