Default Back in a Vette!!! Woot!

Yay... After 5 months of no Vette, I've finally got another!

2003 with 19K miles. She's a little dirty from storage and driving her home in the rain, but I'll get her all cleaned up as soon as the sun is up.






I also changed my avatar so that it reflects both my old Z06 and this one.

25k. Asking price was 28k. I made the offer Saturday and it was accepted Monday night.

Starts tonight. Going to order the CLB, shifter, and maybe exhaust when I get home. Also will probably order the Vararam and the halo tail lights this weekend.
