Congrats! Here's hoping it comes back with you!

As VK once told me - there's 'good loud' and 'bad loud' - I'm betting that thing is 'good loud', or maybe 'Baaaaaad(ass) loud' :twisted:

Sounds great to me! Maybe when I get your age I can get a car like that! :lol:

I'm happy for you. I like red better than black anyway.

Don't kid yourself. You don't think for a moment that Bernie's going to go without a Vette.

Purchase made. He's coming home through the mountain....something about enjoying the curvy roads. He sounds pleased. The car sounds LOUD!
