I was pleasantly surprised. For the money, it's a nice little 4-banger. The sales lady tried to sell me one of those new Redline Ions. She said, "You won't miss your corvette much w/one of those". I literally laughed in her face, and just said, "Whatever".

Thanks to all the encouraging words guys/gals. For those wondering why I didn't pursue either an earlier model Vette, or even a Camaro....I figured I wouldn't really be truely happy no matter what I did. It just made sense to me to get a brand new, cheap, commuter car until the time comes when I'm back in the saddle again. Hmmmm. Perhaps a 2nd year C6 Z is in my future?

Sorry you have to get rid of the Z, but yes, you can still play here.
