Default New from MN!

Hey guys, Just last night, our 1998 corvette arrived from FL. The guy's truck couldn't come through our neighborhood, so we actually had to drive it through the snowy streets of MN (luckily, most of it was gone!).
Now it's sitting in our garage, waiting to be driven.
We did find out it had some problems: very weak battery, missing grill, a dent grill, very dusty, key fob won't work (b/c of car battery, i think). But other than that, it's been good! Those will be easily fixed.

Can't wait to drive this corvette! So anxious!
