Default got one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well after the advice of this forum we bought what we could afford last year (98 carmine red coupe)to make a long story short we were at a local car show last sat nite and out of the blue a guy asked me if the car was for sale and what i wanted for it....so i gave him a figure and sunday he was by with his wife and they drove it and left us a deposit....well we then went to a local car lot here and bought a millennium yellow zo6 2002 with 22,400 miles.....wow oh wow what a car we thought the 98 was fantastic but this is unbelievable...here is a pic for now.......

Welcome to the group. I'm from Fredericksburg so hopefully we will bump into each other.

Make sure you check out the South East section of the Forum. There is a active group in Virginia that is usually planning an event some place.
