Damn, I bought a '04 Vette conv (Spiral Gray/Torch Red int) 2 weeks ago and it's still sitting at the dealership in Cooperstown.

Anxious to get it down here!!

This is my second Vette I bought. I bought a Spiral Gray Torch Red coupe about 1 1/2 years ago and sold it a couple months ago. Missed it so much, I had to get another one, So I search all over the country for a low mileage convertible with the same colors.

Bought it 2 weeks ago and it still sits there. Hope I get it down here in FL before I have to make my first payment

Well, the first transport company just seemed to give me the run-around, so after 10 days, I canceled, The second one pulled through. In fact, I just heard good news that it was picked up late yesterday.



Haven't even seen it yet. This is about my 5th car I've bought online without seeing and never had a problem (helps to buy low mile cars). This is the longest it's taken to get a car here though.
Rollin' the dice!!

I love creating problems. Note that I tried to apologize--in my own way.

That is a pretty car, man. I am envious.

Congrats. It sure looks clean from the picture. Perfect time of the year to drive a vert, now that the weather is getting a little cooler. Enjoy!
