Default I bought my Vette!!

I’m the proud new owner of a like new a 2004 CE coupe.

The internet is a wonderful thing because I would not have found this car without it!! Or this site for that matter!!!!!!!

The wife and I will make the road trip Monday. It’s a few tics over 200 miles, about 4 hours one way. I’m not looking forward to the trip there, but the drive home will be GREAT!!

COME ON MONDAY!!!!!!!

Here is the dealer’s webpage of the car:

Dan's CE

I've wanted another Vette since 1975. I can't believe I found this one!

Maybe on the way here. You could get back home in about 90 minutes easy.

Nice Catch!!

Question is, who gets to drive it home? I'm assuming you'll let your wife be the first to drive it (as I did).

Congrats on your new car! I bought the same thing used in 2005 with 700 miles on it. Now it's got 7300 miles on it. Trust me you'll love it. David
