Default YES! We got a vette!

Been awhile since I've had one, finally talked my wife into getting another. Ended up with a 2000 loaded vert with 23,000 miles. Now if I can only convince her how WE NEED $10,000 worth of accessories, I'll be happy!!

Now let her drive it - and she'll want one of her own! Tell her that there are no unattractive women that ever drive Vettes! (It's true, I swear! )

Good luck with your new baby!
