New Vette in the Garage

[Rick A.]

with all the employee discounts and everything going on, decided to see what the Benz was worth - well, drove home in a 2008 Pace Car - not quite a Z06, but still impressive car!

Re: New Vette in the Garage

The C6 is really a thrilling ride. Consoder how much more fun the road tour will be now, Rick. Now you are ready for California.

Congratulations.

Re: New Vette in the Garage

WHAT! WHAT!...Don't tell me you sold out for a little A/C on the road tours. Driving in 100 degree weather in a vintage Corvette used to be fun.
Oh Well, at least I knew it would be a Black car.
HaND
P.S.: Uhhh, looks like you will be needing someone to keep the cobwebs off of the '63. Hint, Hint!

Hi Rick,
Well, that looks like a really nice car to park next to your 63, and to enjoy driving!!!
To show how far behind I am... I don't know what the 'Ivory' part of your description of it means.
I wish you a lot pleasant and safe miles.
Regards,
Alan

Re: New Vette in the Garage

AC and comfort is overrated guys! There is still no substitute for vintage cruising
Rick, one benefit of the new C6 will be improved fuel mileage although I'm still jealous of your 18mpg from your 63!

Cheers
Mike
