Avelate anyone??
Just browsing Ebay and found this 2002 "hybrid" coupe for sale--can't decide if it's garish or simply stunning...What do you guys think and is it worth what their asking for it? Tha more I look at it the more I want it

I get that it is trying to be the best of all generations, but this proves you can have too much of a good thing. The rear end treatment around the exhaust is horrendous. How do you put so much effort/cost into a new design and have it fit like that? Completely cheapens the car if you ask me...sorry, but one of the ugliest Vette's I've ever seen.

Well...when we mod we want our Vettes to be unique so here you are...definitely unique!
Anyone who buys it should call Dennis at Double D Mods for a stereo upgrade and Chuck CoW for a tune.

I've seen one at a few of the bigger Vette shows. It is certainly different but just doesn't do much to make me want to pay that kind of money for one.
