Default Look what my buddy got

After just a couple months, my friends who I sold my 88 vert to, couldn't stand it no more. They had to have a C5, and found a beaut. I went up this afternoon to have a look, take her for a drive, get some pics, and tell them to get joined up here. Take a look:





One owner 00 A4 vert, green, C6 wheels 18,19(polished), loads of exterior bling.....front and rear ACI spoilers, chrome tail and side marker light covers, chrome license plate surround, chrome CORVETTE inserts(front & rear)......are you getting the chrome theme?
The car really is beautiful, can't hardly find a mark on it. Too bad John broke his foot and can't drive for a while! The dealer they bought it from told them they couldn't program the key fob because they didn't have the right computer hook up! WTH? 2 minutes and the fob is programmed and working fine. Talk about trying to feed someone some .
They really did find an awesome vert, at a better than great price, and they couldn't be happier going from a C4 to their new C5. Here's to you John and Cristy!

You know it. He'd give me the shirt off his back if I needed it and he knows I'd do the same. Even though he is an instigating SOB! He better be seeing this.
Plus you should see his garage.....two lifts and tools like mad! I'd pay him rent to live there if the wife would let me.

I think I know why the price was better than great. A dealer too dumb to know how to program a key fob probably is an easy mark. Tip of the week - Tell your buddy to NEVER EVER take the car anywhere NEAR this dealer's service department.

No worries there Charlie. He's a greasehead, like me, between the two of us, it may never see a dealership the rest of its life. Mine too, I hope.
