2nd Vette - Pics
I did not plan it as a Christmas present but I ended up buying an 04 Auto Vert and took posession on Dec 24th. I bought it for my wife (at least I convinced her of that) It has 31,000 miles and in mint condition. I can't wait for the time and money to do some minor mod-ding. This is my, oops, our first vert and I have a lot to learn about the differences. I did a serious cleaning in, around, and under on Thursday and then finished it with one coat of Zaino on Friday. (had to take some time off due to the new addition). I hope you enjoy the pics.

Not at all - Dealer bought - $35,000. GM Certified so it came with a 3000 - 3 month free warranty. The factory 3/36 had recently expired. I plan on getting an extended warranty before this expires. I imagine there are better deals, but compared to the other verts I have looked at in the valley it was a better than average deal given it condition and mileage.

Very nice set of Vette's! Your gonna enjoy the Vert!
I'm thinking about adding another one myself. Hadn't thought about the "it's for you Honey" angle.
