Take a deep breath, a shot of Yeagermeister, chased by a a Bud Light, and pray to God I do not comment on your 73.

Stay in tune...

I see you don't get it wet often, but......that little round twistie thingy hooked on the end of your turn signal stalk will make that water on the front window glass go away. It really does, I promise.

Nada1, sorry for your loss, that has to hurt. Obviously it's a total.

I can't un-do what was done, but if you give me your address I'll come remove the remains gently and carefully so you don't have to go through the trauma of disposing of it. No charge, it's the least I can do to help you through your grief!

Dont worry, mines a daily driver and has been driven in salt let alone rain (I really didnt want to do it but there was no way around it)!

Yes, just like the Wicked Witch of the West it's all over. Ship it to me and I'll see to it that it gets a proper burial.

Try dodging a tornado. We did that a few yrs back at Carlisle during the Saturday night parade downtown. Amazing how quickly two guys can batten down the targa.

If it was green, it might have made it but since it's yellow...well there like spun sugar, maybe i should come take it off your hands.

Yeah Don you're right, look I know it's tuff to say goodbye to a Vette, but here at the Corvette Home for Senior Corvettes we will make sure she goes to her final days comfortable and DRY. Besides our daily clean-up program, we also have a wonderful exercise program to make sure the flip flops on her don't dry rot, and at mealtime she gets only the finest premium in the area. Also inclued are free trips to exotic destinations like El Paso, TX, Edmonton, Alberta, Apple Valley, CA, and many others. And the biggest plus of all is we give YOU a $50 finders fee!!!
