Default Talk about close.....

Hey gang,
Went to the Corvette Expo this weekend in Knoxville, Tenn.
Seen a couple of guys from Maxie Price that we met the the night before at our Hooters gathering.
Well to make a Long story short Anthony threw me the keys and let me try on the z06 for size.

:yesnod:


Anthony is trying to make me suffer for waiting so long to get a vette...... :eek:

That was my problem too - I get to blame forum member Tracy - he let me drive his Z06! It was all over after that!
