Nope, but people that trade for wagon wheels plus cash for Y2ks before they sell the car used is REAL common .

Thanks for the replies guys. She has her war wounds just like any other vehicle with 65k, but she sure does clean up nice. As for the wagon wheels, they were on there when I bought her. He did send a second set of rims, but I don't really care for them. They are black and they have five spokes(not thin spokes or I would just chrome them) and they have chrome center caps with a vette design in the middle and a chrome lip. If they were straight black, I might like them better. I have to check my spending on this girl for a while as my wife is getting jealous! Lmao

And it starts! I bought my first Vette 5 years ago (C4 Coupe) and bought another one last year (C5 Convertible). I got a feeling that it won't end there. Your in the club now and once you in, it's hard to get out. I don't know why anyone would want to get out. I'm still after that '63 split window Vette. Maybe in another 5 years! Nice Convertible, I love the C5's Congradulations!
