Default It all started with an oil change

Hello everyone! So, For the past few years I have been pining for a corvette. Why? Its a corvette, you guys get it I'm sure! No mid life crisis or compensation needed. When I see one it looks like a piece of art to me just sitting there, when you look at the specs the artfulness of the engineering captivates you. What a blend of line, color, rawness and refinement...I had to get one! Well I was saving for one when the car I had, an '06 RX8 took a poop on me, well the dealer wasn't too cool on dropping another rotary in there, which is what it needed. And I wasn't cool on the hassle. I need my wheels I still take emergency call with a hospital, my car has to work! lives and livelihood depend on it. So, I dropped what I had on a 2009 Dodge Challenger RT with 9k miles, thought that would tide me over for a while, eh no. So whilst getting an oil change at the dealership I just happened to check their used car lot... Uh oh! A sweet red Z06... The car salesman kept telling how teachers don't drive 'vettes...no, just the cool ones. Well some haggling, a test drive and voila I GOT A 'VETTE MAN! HAHA I'm a happy man! I'm just not allowed to get any oil changes without adult supervision anymore.
