I read the whole ad before I scrolled down and saw the thing. I threw up a little in my mouth I think. Nothing another 6 grand into a paint job wouldn't fix..

Not sure why this is the only thing that really bugged me about the pics in that add but why not actually start the engine when you take the picture of the instrument cluster so the check engine and check guages warnings aren't on? I mean, yea the color combo is horrendous but you could at least make it look like it doesn't have warnings and errors showing on the dash.

Look carefully at the pictures, this guy isn't my kind of owner. Cigarette ash on the console, steering column, and passenger's seat. Plus the drivers seat looks shot for 39K miles. Not me, aside from the the ugly colors, this car was not loved, it's plain to see........THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS!!! I can usually tell in pictures if I have found a queen or a sow....

First, I don't think I would want the color combination, except if I was a Scotts Fertilizer salesman. That's what it reminds me of. Second, I feel the need to come to the defense of the Green Bay Packers Fans, this should help remove the ugly Corvette as a symbol of the Green Bay Packers.....



It was 10 degrees above zero on this day, this is not my original photo, but they were 5 rows ahead of me. Go Pack!!!
