Default What Happened?

Does anyone know what ever happened to Richards Motors (Vettes) on South Broadway they seemed to close shop. Also who in the hell ordered the 3ft of snow in Denver. It will be forever now before I can even pull the Vettes out of the garage.

I would also like to know what happened to them . I used to stop by there with my dad when I was a kid. I remember seeing my first ZR1 there. Corvettes Only on Hamden swallow them??

Yeah I am pissed at the snow right now. I was expecting to go pick up my new vette this weekend but the weather may stop me from doing that.

Mark, At least we have more snow coming. I did get you a vette t-shirt from my friends shop if that helps.

I'm curious too since I bought a vette from them a long time ago. I learned a valuable lesson that day....
