Bill, got a link to that 930 mile Z06?

Jeff, those are just some cars I'd like to own for now. Each of them (except the GTO) will have excellent resale value, and be fun to drive around. This car would be my daily-driver.

My first car was a red 69 Camaro that my Dad and I restored. Paid $1400 for the smoking rust-bucket, but it looked great when we were done. My Mom had a new 90 GT, but I drove it more than her.

Then I sold it to pay for college (for $6K, back in 92) and bought a used 85 Nissan Pulsar for $2K cash. I drove that shitbox for 3 years. I refer to that period as my non-automotive life, since all I did was study and work.

Then I got a used 93 Ranger, drove it for 2 yrs, traded it in for a used 96 Mustang GT (in '96). Drove that for 2 years and traded it in for my first new car, the 98 Formula. That was my graduation gift to myself.

When that car got too rowdy, I bought a used 98 Amigo to drive daily, sold that and got the GMC truck.

Haven't looked back since

PS, I can't adopt you, I'm only 4 yrs older than you and it would look funny with you calling me Daddy in public.

Don't worry Daniel, I'd never buy a yellow Corvette. They look good though, just not my first preference, definitely my last choice in colors for a Corvette.

Louis has a nice white Z06, but I'm not the type to pay extra for boring old white, even if it is rare. There is a reason they didn't sell that many white ones...

Good freakin luck. I predict you'll end up with a ZO6 or GTO. I was looking for one of those about a year ago, and couldn't find crap. I don't know what it is with Verts and auto trannys going hand and hand.
