Default I'm BACK!!!!!
Hey everyone..... I am rejoining the CORVETTE ranks after a brief jaunt into a PORSCHE PANAMERA while recovering from back surgery. I worked with Mark at MacMulkin today and in a very short time we worked out a deal to trade in my Panamera and he is sending me a 2019 Artic White GS with manual tranny! They had a GREAT deal available on this car and I am thrilled to be getting back into a Vette and rejoining this illustrious group!

Welcome back. The performance of the Panamara is stunning given what it is. I still haven't warmed up to what it looks like. Did you like it?

Hey BudMan. Just got home from my own back surgery. 3 Level lumbar laminectomy/fusion. Dr says I should be back in my vette by summer.
So far the surgery hasn't been the horror story people talk about. Recovery is gonna suck for next 2 months. Welcome back
