Default Back in the saddle again!

After nearly a month of waiting my replacement Vette for my flood damaged '99 is finally here. Took delivery of a black/black '97 MN6 coupe with less than 3k miles yesterday morning! The car runs and smells like it came off of the showroom floor. I purchased the car from Craig and Mary in St. George, UT (CF member "cajung") and they obviously took great care of this car. I cannot concentrate on anything at work. May have to cut out early again as the boss is on vacation.

I'll get pics this weekend after I can give her a little more TLC (there is a teaser in my avatar for now).

I'm in love all over again.

Wow....a '97 with less than 3k miles. Thats got to be a record or something.

Congratulations. I've been without my Vette for about 2 months now so I know the feeling. The bad parts is that I've still got about another 6 months to wait before I get my new Z.
