Default Finally.....back in a Vette!!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger and bought another Z06 from Corvette Palace today. 2003 Electron Blue, black interior, no BSMs, Chrome wheels, Volant air intake, 16,088 miles......$35,500. Unfortunately I have to wait until I move down to Corpus Christi in March to pick it up. But its been 18 months since I sold my last vette so whats another 2??

Big Thanks to Vinnie "VinnieR" for the help checking the car out down in Austin. Beers on me when I come to pick her up

Congrats Gregory,

Welcome back to the fold. I'm glad you back into what you wanted. It's been an awful long, hard road for you from the wrecked ride to the sale of the Z. Glad it has come back around. Enjoy the ride.

Paul

That might be just a step up from the BOQ. All though, I'm a lot smaller than you so the car would be pretty roomy for me.
