LOL... Wow !! Could have had a brand new C6 for the partial cost of the automation in this car or a slightly used C6 Z06 !!! $ 2700 - Car Tunes - Not done yet, $ 49,800 couldn't possibly be enough.... .needed another 2700 $ 1200 - ICON TV - for the TV ---- Over 52k spent with Car tunes, and it didn't included the freakn TV !!!! $ 18,000 - Roly Fernandez - Roly needed $ 18000 to do "protowork" on the base/clear paint..... seriously, thats what he needed to do with 18,000 dollars !!
