Default Joyce's new toy

Hi guys,

Some of you may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted a thread for my friend Joyce (JBragg on the forum) asking for advice regarding the price on a 2000 dark green A4 vert she was lusting after. Well, she traded in her 2006 avalanche on it and loves it to death. The car turned out to have body side mouldings, Heads up display and 12 disc CD changer in the trunk that were not listed in the dealers ad. She bought it from Larry Ressler. You may remember him as the guy who bought serial #3 1953 vette a couple of years ago and SN #1 2009 ZR-1 for a million bucks a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, here's some pics.

Here's some pics of the stable mate (1996 vert):

Sweet looking ride!

Welcome to the world of trying to maintain the paint on a dark colored ride

Now get that stinking Ressler sticker off the back of it! Someone needs to be pimp slapped for that!

One would think that Ressler would know better than to put a dealer sticker on a Vette.

Great looking Vette!

If you look carefully at the pic from behind you can see that the "R" is in a state of partial removal. It was removed after pics were taken. Joyce made them take the full window "Ressler.com" sticker out of the back window before she left the dealership.

Good one!

Poor Joyce can't be bothered to brag right now as she is suffering the tortuous heat in Florida visiting her daughter.

I'll try to get her to stop being so shy on the forum and send you guys a shout when she gets back.
