Chuck, I think your the guilty culpret who got her thinking of a new Vette anyway . She traded the C-4 for a 2002 Millenium yellow convert with 11k miles. Details beyond that you'll have to pry out of her before I get in too much trouble for spilling the beans

You'd better check your driveway to make sure it's not over here

No, No, No. Not nearly enough garage and driveway space as it is (see
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=889431 ). I've been bugging her already that now she can clean all the '87 resto parts (ie take-offs that "may" be restorable some day) out of the garage ... so I can fill the space with my cars parts

So it's the 70 and the new kid. Greg, I know you have driven it....what do you think? The C5's aren't too shabby, huh?

I bet Juliet loves it.
