Default A Second Stable Mate

Well the decision has been made. After a LONG time trying to decide what I will be doing, I am going to purchase a second corvette that will be ALLLLL mine. My current car, while it may be a fun little car, just bores me after driving the vette this entire week. It is no long fun, and there is NOTHING against the sound of the vette. I will be selling my car beginning of next summer and purchasing a second corvette, hopefully an FRC if I can find one! Two vettes in one house....THATS the life Cant wait!

We are already having to add another double garage on the side of the house, may be hard to find an excuse to build a 3rd out back :P

That's my plan at some point down the road. The hummer won't fit in the garage and the GF never parks her car in the garage so I think that my 99 gets lonely in there by itself and needs a stablemate.

Had two for a while and spend all my time cleaning one or the other, can't imagine having three. But it would have to be great!

Not a thing wrong with having several Corvettes in the stable. More to enjoy.
