Tag for updates as it gets closer. Probably pass on dyno at this point but it would be nice to go for the ride if I can swing the date.

He lives 2 miles from me and goes by my house every friggin day....down and up. It kills me to hear 'my' car and see 'my' car going by my house. I seriously doubt he will sell 'my' vette...he says he loves it.

He is a self employed electrician, has the vette, and has a beautiful Harley. He has 2 houses, is single ( looker for a GF ), and paid cash for my car.....I need to him to do some investing with me and at his age 50 ish and with probable life changes, is ready for some life insurance.

He is almost an impulsive buyer and if he likes something he won't hesitate.....John, you have a shot.
