So this is what it's like driving a C3
 
I have always wanted one of these cars...and as some of you all know I picked her up on sunday...well I have always thought that these were some of the best looking cars made...and I don't see too many(actually saw someone with a 2 toned Blue and Gray one today at a traffic light on Cobb Parkway let me know if you are here!) so I never thought ppl cared about them....BOY WAS I WRONG...On the way back from Tennessee I was stopped at the rest stop...a Guy just stood there in front of my for 5 minutes and kept saying she was beautiful...and I only had her for 45 minutes! Yesterday was my first day out driving...and me and the wife cruised around town with the tops off. I have received thumbs ups, waves, ppl saying G*d D*mn while driving by, 2 Guys in the parking lot coming from dinner asked me how much I wanted for it...went to a little lounge the Bouncer was like...You Got you something there young man...thats nice...

And its not the ppl that make me feel like wow! It is the car in general sitting in it is the coolest thing I have ever experienced...the Curves of these Cars are to die for...I feel like I am in a whole different world when driving and when I open my garage door or walk outside I just say wow! I just came back from buyavette to set up a inspection and walked their showroom it was like heaven...and I own a little piece I took some pics I will post of the dealership. But I am glad to be apart of the C3 family...one of my best decisions yet!:D

That was my late fathers quote after I had my first vette for a couple years. Every time he'd ride with me he would say come on boy "mash" that pedal down I wanta hear some rubber burn. :rofl:

Man you have to understand...I have worked EVERYDAY since September 18th! Yes thats Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Yrs, and all in between for 90+ hrs every week! We sold 2 of our cars to help start our business...fast forward 8 months...It's Summertime we have employees now...my wife is on summer break(teacher) so she can stay at the business...and I turn 30 in 13 days and I have wanted one of these cars since forever...and all I wanted was to purchase one for my 30th birthday...and I DID! So this car is wayyy more to me than just a car...it might not be perfect...or the most expensive or the flashiest...But its Mine...and I love it to death
:D:thumbs::cheers::flag:
