Default top ten list

okay, some of you may have seen my mom's 97 coupe in the "thanksgiving butts" forum. she wants to sell it, but i really want it for myself and i've come up with the top ten reasons for her to give it to me for Christmas:

10. she has a red 98 vert
9. she bumps her head every time she gets in the coupe
8. I'm the only one who truly appreciates the borla stinger exhaust
7. Most of the work on the vettes is done by yours truly
6. she wants another vette (a blue vert)
5. Nobody's paying any attention to the coupe...poor coupe
4. The coupe's a chick magnet...okay not as much as the vert, but i can drive it when it's cold outside and not look like a noob
3. I'll clean up after it and walk (jog/run) it everyday
2. it likes me.... the FOB only listens to me
1. I've been very good this year

any more assistance/support would be appreciated

Tell her if she doesn't give it to you, you'll turn ghey and she'll never have grandchildren.

But seriously, if you can afford it, mom will probably give you a break.
