Hmmm, assuming one would drive their Vette every day of the year and there were a minimum of two starts, over a four year period that would work out to about .0513 cents per start.
I'd pass too, it has to be cheaper somewhere else.

How long ago was that?
I think you'll be in for a surprise when you check the latest prices on Redtops...prices have gone up in the past year or so since I bought mine ($119.95 at AutoZone but now selling for $169.95, HIGHER than what Mark has posted
). Even mail order prices are higher 
If you can still get one for $118.00, that is a very good price

He's right! They have rocketed in price since I got mine 3 years ago...my second one. I'm looking elsewhere next time. I can remember when LAPD sold them for under $100 and only $5 shipping! Or was that WCC???
