Sometimes you just get lucky!
Hi guys,
Thought I'd reintroduce myself since I just got another C5. I was on here a lot when I had my '99 FRC and then a '04 Z06 but I had to sell them for health reasons (OK now) and I've been vetteless for several years. Well, last week I was getting my truck serviced at the local dealer and was looking at the new vettes (don't we all do this at the chevy shops?). Anyway, a sales kid came up and told me they had an '02 vert with less than 12k miles. Gotta be something wrong with this I thought as we walked to see it. Wow! It was a triple black garage queen without a mark on it…swear to God. What's more, it was totally, bone stock…just like it came off the showroom floor 9 yrs ago! One owner, local car with all the service records to boot. Well, I couldn't pass this one up so now I'm once again a happy C5 driver. Don't forget to wave!

"If you're going to tell us about your new Vette,you must also post pictures of said Vette"
Not really--congrats on the "find",sounds like you got a good one

Nice Vette,and nice lady...
