I was driving East on RT30 in Merrillville, IN and I drive past Schepel Buick GMC. To my surprise I see a hot pair of twins from my peripheral vision. I just had to stop. I wish I had my camera, but these cell phone pics will have to do.




As soon as I got out of my car a salesman was harpin' on me about putting another in my drive way, I snapped a few pics and told him I'm good with my one and only.

For anyone interested to see the ridiculously overpriced listings on these two certified used SS's, here are the links...

Hope you enjoyed!
