you know, i've always have had trouble with grammar. and i did proof read it, but WTF did i do i asked when seeing the post later.....and if you think that is something, let me tell you , I lost $5000 today by doing something stupid. WTF

Now back to my point. no other car company wraps itself in the american flag as much as GM, and then outsources

the other day decided that it was a nice enough day today for a wash and a drive. so i washed the ol beast and grabbed the camera and headed out. it turned cloudy but was reasonably warm at about 48 degrees. i can honestly say that i am as in love with this car as i was the day it arrived here from Boston on a car hauler.

I have to admit that I reaaaaaly like that car. The transition from red to black on the interior, incorporation of digital gauges along with the analog setup, position of interior parts, and the body lines all add up to one darn beautiful vehicle. I drove a '78 25th anniversary 'Vette when I was 16 and loved them since. Good luck with the car, and mad props to you

Coulda swore I saw this vette up for sale on Detroit craigslist a few months ago. Had me tempted to make another trip to Vermillion to pick up a car. Wasn't for sale long...really good price!
