Vette(s): 2004 Commemorative Edition Coupe, Auto w/HUD. 13K miles in 2015. Sold 1982 Red Coupe
The sad news is that I no longer own a C3 Vette.
The good news is that I now own a C5.

Picked it up yesterday.

Was this a birthday present?  Happy Birthday Dave.  Nice ride and I'm going to assume this is what you're bringing in July.


Dave C..........My mantra: I can not be bought!!      Long and short term leases available.

Congratulations on the new (to you) Vette, Dave. Clap It's really nice. Thumbs Up The newer model Vettes are great for travel, get good gas mileage and fun to drive. Big smile See ya next month.
