Added another 04 to the stable

Well for a few years now the wife has been wanting her own vette to enjoy. As of yesterday shes the proud owner of a '04 Machine Silver Vert. Its kinda of funny that now we have 2 '04 Machine Silver Verts in the garage. Mine which started out as a Z06 and became a Vert with the help of some good buddies and Ambra's which was born a Vert.

Welcome to the His & Hers C5 Club (HHC5C)!

We bought the second one as my daily driver which never happened as the wife commandeered it as hers upon her first drive. We opted to get color opposites so we could tell them apart.

Enjoy! Having two vettes is awesome, only, you have to learn to split the mod time and money. Also, beware the HP junkie she may become - I am constantly inundated with requests for "more horsepower" as Mrs. Patches has gotten a taste of real power and the never-ending need for more.
