Default Things work out!

This is a follow up to a post I called "CRASHED"! Late last year, an uninsured motorist slammed into my Atomic Orange 2007 Vette and totaled it. She was so beautiful. The insurance payoff was a lot better than I though it would be. I was in the middle of buying a house and couldn't get another one for a while. I shopped and shopped and finally found the one. I purchased 2014 with about 16k on the clock. She came in the Cyber Metallic Gray and had every option I wanted including comp seats. This car is amazing, I can't believe she's mine.

I brought her home a few months ago but hadn't posted a follow up. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, I was really bummed when the crash happened but I kept looking and it paid off!!!
