Default New (to me) Car!

Well it started out with me wanting a 2000+ Z28.
Then I looked into corvettes.
Then my dad wanted me to get a 350Z.
Everyone wanted me to get a 350Z.



















Glad i didnt listen to everyone!!!

1999 C5, just hit 50k miles.

well the dealers site said 20,900 so i figured that wasnt too bad for a 99 with right under 50k on it. When i got there the sticker said 22,800 and it had brand new Goodyear Eagle runflats on it, so i wasnt too disapointed when he said he wouldn't come down off the price.

EDIT:
a friend of mine took pictures of the car last night in one of the university garages for his digital photography class. As soon as he will send me the files i'll post them up here
