Default Two More Days!

I am flying to Las Vegas on Saturday morning to pick up the Covette I am buying. It has been Zainoed and everything. I am getting really excited. Here is a pic that the owner sent to me:

Car Pic

It is a large pic, so I added it as a link instead of pasting it inline.

Thanks, I really like the color and I like the semi-rarity of it.

It is a 2000 Coupe with MN6 and approx 40,000 miles on it. It has dual roof panels, dual seats, fog lamps, Bose AM/FM + CD, HUD according to the current owner. Service Recs. shows FE3 and Z51, and an interior pic did show the active handling button near the driver side console.

Mods include Borla Catbacks with Quad tips, powered Subwoofer, Z06 Breather, tinted windows, stainless steel inserts and chromed side marker and 3rd brake lite surrounds.

I want to do the following off the top of my head:

C6 Short Shifter
CLB
Window Valet
Hood Seal!
Wheels (Love CCWs, but the price is insane)

There is nothing quite like a trip in a new vehicle, especially a vette.
