Nice. Do you have a thing for white cars, or was it just a coincidence?

....and damn, $3.29 a gallon is cheap. We're still in the $3.50-$3.70 range here.

I just realized it was your white firebird that has been my work pc background for the last year. Good taste indeed.

You'll LOVE that car, FRC's look great! I might be a little biased though FM5's look good on a Vette, it gives it a different look than most people go for with them.

White cars are really nice. I think the SS looks awesome in pewter though.

Nice FRC DopeFedZ. If I got a C5 it would be a White FRC or a Nassau Blue
