Default Going for two?

Surfing the net tonight and saw a 07 VR C6 for 36k at my local dealership. It has 11k on the clock. I love my 50th AE, but I want another one. Going for a closer look and possible a test drive wednesday. How many here own a C5 and a C6? I'm trying to beat my brother, he to wants two vette. I will probabli drive the C6 more if I get it. The 50th is basically a friday-sunday. Now, where can i put my dad's 00' vert?

It's actually at Fairway. My brother has a good relationship with the owner. He bought two c6z including his RF. What happened at Bill Heard?

Nice a '69. I'd love to have one of those too! Make mine a vert too. I almost got the same year right after high school (circa 72), but my Dad sort of said NO. It wasn't very much, if I remember about $3400. but the insurance was a killer in those days for the value of a dollar then.

Still some day I'd like to find one that has been preserved.
