Congrats on finding the car - From the sounds of it, you will really enjoy being back into Vette ownership.

Guys thanks for the warm welcome back!
True story of the day: Going out of town through the weekend and wanted to get some cruzing in. So I'm South bound and top down, and pick up a following of three 20yo college girls. They pull in behind me and follow till I get where I'm going. They said they just loved the car and wanted to say hi! Gave 'em my number and siad if I can give them a ride sometime to shoot a call.
Can't tell you how much I've missed having a Vette!

The difference is amazing. Granted the '87 was the love of my life and I had a great time driving and owning it, drove like a bat outa' hell. BUT, this as you all know is a whole new ball game. The hardest thing will be not to rack up 50,000 miles this year!
