the corvette bug has spread
ever since i met my father-in-law and he took my vette for a spin he has kept saying,"find me one". Well two weeks ago I found a sweet 2004 with on 16,000 miles on it at a local dealership. Torch red with light oak int, 6 speed and almost every option, dual tops and all, just perfect and beautiful. One previous owner through a GM lease that was extended and then he turned it over. I went and looked at it and couldn't find a single thing wrong. Just about perfect! My father-in-law came up and we looked and haggled and he ended up buying it for justa bit over $31,000. I did good....

Now you can mod 'til your heart's content. The wife can't run to daddy and complain.

Sounds like a good way to bond. Can't hurt being buds with the wife's father.

Good story. Very happy for your Father-in-law. I guess you could say "He didn't lose a Daughter, He gained a Car Friend."
