I love the long distance vette purchase excursions... It has taken me to places I never thought I would go! Met some great people along the way as well... Congrats on the new GS. It is beautiful

My friends and I buy our Corvettes from Tom at Buds but we typically have them shipped out to California. I did have my 06 shipped to Montana and drove back through Yellowstond National Park. Beautiful trip. It was a long 500 miles for the break-in period but I finally hit it outside Twin Falls, ID and was able to open it up for the first time.

Hi Tom...This ol' yeller C6 you sold me a few years ago is still going strong...when I get an opportunity to drive it...17K miles now.
Just wanted to let you know that Lou Anna and I recently moved from Lexington, KY back to DFW area of north TX.
Rest asured when I'm ready to trade or sell this car, I will be calling you...hopefully following the next purchase there won't be snow and sleet on the ground when I drive it out of the warehouse...
