Default Another darn CRM GS thread...

Well, I really think I need therapy or something... I went up last Friday to check out the toys at MacMulkin in NH and brought home a new 2011 GS vert! Thanks again to Tommy Jr. for a painless transaction and great service!!

Pretty well loaded up car, 3LT, nav, chrome wheels, F55, NPP, etc.

Is there a group for car junkies like AA for alcoholics?

Sorry for only the indoor pictures, its been rainy!

-Dan

(Anyone looking for a magnetic red c5? I should probably sell one toy!)

Bought the same car in a coupe, this time last year, ( '10 ). Great price and super service. My second from Tommy.

thanks, the ride was one of my main concerns and with the f55 it is really good, set to 'tour' it about the same as my c5 with the Bilstein sport shocks on a bumpy road. None of the bounce or jumpy-ness of the z06. While still respectable on torque etc, it isn't the animal that the z06 is though.

I've always bought used with any of my toys, so buying a new one was a big decision, Tommy Jr. was patient with all my emails and questions, thanks again! (and with what the market has been doing, I'm glad I pulled this $ out last month!)

Nice car, but is that really the Zaino shine? I think it is the way the camera took the pic, unless of course you zainoed the wheels, windshield, headlights covers, fog lamps etc etc ..........nice car though.

And strangely you have a garage that is an exact mirror image of mine! Awesome!

Racer- thanks for the special stamp of approval.

Thanks, and no, you are not the first to tell me that this week. It was this or sell the z06 and c5 for a zr1, but I wanted some wind in my hair while I still have hair. I'm just getting an early start on my midlife crisis! You can move in only if you look like racers avitar!

Truth be, while I work my butt off for it, I am still truly blessed. -Dan
