Look at the plus side, you didn't have to clean any bugs off when you
got home. I've been looking at another one for my little collection
and most won't even let me come and look at them because "the Corvette
is in storage until spring" is the most likely excuse.

Had the '05 and the '64 out last week and was quickly reminded that
wide cold tires just don't stick very well in this weather and the '64
I just don't push that much to fine out how 4" wide tire do. ;-)) The
'72 wouldn't start and what do you know there was no juice because the
side mount post fell out, a first for me.

Right now looking at a '96 coupe with 27K miles for $16K or a '04 with
60K for $20K. Most likely the '04 will win because of the few miles on
the '96 puts me off and can spell niggling problems. Don't sweat the
prices as I'd would never pay asking price for an outright buy.
