Default nice car

That is a beautiful color! No do not think you are the only one. I still sit in the garage looking at my used C5 thinking the same thing. But I also own two late model Caddys and a Monte SS. Forget the old Eldo and the Tracker I own as well. I never dreamt of Caddys or Montes or owning 6 cars, but I do. I never thought of a house or a wife as well. I only had dreams of a Corvette, and I finally got one. My wife and house obviously mean more to me than cars, but the Vette was my only real dream as a kid. Savor what you have!

Anyway, thanks for the compliment.
Typical reaction to something so beautiful. My Magnetic Red gets the same affection. Just can't help it.
