For now let's just say concessions have been made, numbers have been crunched, and some money has changed hands. Gotta wait for more money to arrive to finalize everything.

All necessary phone calls have been made to get the rest of the down payment money.
Hmmm, I rather like that purple. Add a hot pink pinstripe to it and we may have a deal. Yes, Purple and pink work very well together. And neither is what I wound up with. I also like loud pipes that mellow out at cruising speed. Less than 24 hours ago I took the test drive. |

No on the Smart Car.
But I think I made a pretty smart deal. The big announcement could possibly come as soon as Saturday. (Damn, I am having fun with this.) |

Getting closer. Insurance company has been notified, new card in hand.
Depending on what is in my mailbox, tomorrow could be the big day. I will say this, it's a coupe. |

Dude... if it had alcohol content, it wasn't safe near me... you should know that, too.
Jager is the nectar of the Gods. I will also add that thanks to 15 years of competitive drinking, my gut hates me... so I quit about 10 years ago... I am not dry or anything, I just don't over-do. Beer here, beer there, but nothing to extreme. |

All right, I have tortured you guys long enough. The mailman didn't bring me the check yesterday so I probably won't have it until Monday evening or so.
Obviously no pictures since I haven't picked it up and the dealer put it in the warehouse for safe storage. But here we go: 2001 Torch Red Coupe with matching targa top 6 speed Black interior Bose (yeah, I know it will eventually fail) Aftermarket air intake and exhaust. I can't recall the intake brand and haven't found the exhaust brand yet. Suffice it to say there are 2 rather large pipes sticking out the back. 18,000 miles Beautiful condition, has had 2 VERY MINOR accidents, 1 was a parking lot incident. I am off the lot for $22K. I spent quite a bit of time driving it around on Monday and found no issues whatever. The only "issue" is the Little Blind Woman doesn't like the loud pipes. I explained that they smooth right out once you aren't on the gas. I promise, pictures as soon as I get the car home. It could be a long ride from the dealer. |

Congrats!!!!!
Sounds like a cherry car! NelsonV and I can help you with the audio... when that time comes. The pipes should have something embossed on them. Two large outlets? Sounds like Borla. Did you get it through Don? I checked his site and nothing popped... Or is it a private sale? Did you get a service contract with it? Corvette's are one of the few cars I recommend getting one with, unless you do your own work. But it has to be a good one, not some unknown POS... Well, dude... CONGRATS!!!!!! Can't wait to see the pics! And the check may arrive Saturday. Poste is only closed tomorrow. Enjoy the ride and don't forget to wave! oh, one last deet... www.valentine1.com |

Andy, car came from Don Sitt's. It is the 3rd car I have bought there. It wasn't on the lot long enough to get to their website. I spotted it last Friday night, test drove and bought it Monday. When I called to talk to my salesman, he couldn't find it online and I told him where it was parked. We haven't talked service contract yet. I will probably go through Sitt's for one, they are "Corvette Specialists." I didn't find anything on the pipes yet. I will look them over closer when I get it home.
And, yes I agree on the Valentine. It is on the purchase list along with a cover. I don't want it to get overly dirty at the track. |
