Nothing worse than driving around in what feels like you're in a fish bowl.

Colorado is a great place for a vette. Especially, like mine, a convertible. That red with the tint in a good touch.

Yes, I bought a new 02 Vert and there is nothing like having the top down. If I had not found this S/C'd Z, I would have been looking for a modded vert!
