Craziest Purchase Ever?

My local dealer couldn't get my Yellow C6 ordered before the deadline, so while on a cruise from Sydney to Bangkok, I used the internet and gmbuypower and found my baby at Frank Parra's in Texas. Wired the money from Australia and expecting documents to sign in Singapore. What a man will go thru to get his car!
Can't wait to get home!

I assume you got M. Yellow? Congratulations on the new vette. Greatest car I have ever owned, including my two C5s which were great cars.

I bought my C5 while residing in Belgium, from a dealer located in Germany, owned by a company based in New York (which is where the check went to), loan financed through a bank in Texas, and had it delivered in Arkansas.

I kid you not.
