He let me drive it for the first time since we bought the car lol. & that was Feb of last year (so we had the car for over a year now)

I went to move it out of the way while we were mowing lawn & He Yelled at me to not hit anything & he Then he asked me if I had my wallet on me?????? OK I said NO & then he yelled to my daughter to go get my wallet While he was trying to teach our 13yr old to drive our Cav that is for sale. I moved the vette & then backed the car up (with out much problems) & then he told me to go out on the road for a while. & I had a blast. Had it in all 6 gears with out a problem lol Only killed it once.

Got home & told him I wanted one now lol

How about a 1996 CE with borla exhaust, new seat covers from Iggees, and an about to be repaired stereo system by Dr Dons,,,,am thinking of selling my C-4 and saving up for a C-5. I just got done refinishing my targa. It has approxiamately 140K, but runs like a bat out of h*ll! Oh, and C-5 wheels, and both the manuals, build sheet, all the goodies. Only thing I havent figured out yet is the Key Fobe,,,,got one but its disconnected internally we think! Alarm still works, just cant set it. LT1 auto. See signature for pic!
