Thank you for all the PMs and advice.

It took some time but I just wired the $$$ for my new ride...

Can't wait for the shipping company to drop it off.... :(

6 days.....6 long days....maybe I will have the docs put me in a medically induced coma until Tuesday... :D

Anyway....Sure many of you recognize the selection

Damn that thing is sweet. Too much for one guy. So I'll help you out and take 50% ownership of it. Seriously, nice ride.

I know Mark personally.. and I know the blood, sweat and passion he put into that ride. I'm sure it killed him to sell it.

I also know the quality of that ride. You bought one of my favorite cars.

Where are you located? (ie, where will the car be located)

And congrats on buying the baddest vette I know of.. :thumbsup:

Congrats!

Parting with it was a difficult decision to make but I actually made it several months ago so I've had time to let it settle in. Thanks and ENJOY THE RIDE! :thumbsup:

Paying off debt but if Chevrolet would hurry the hell up, there may be enough left over for a new Camaro. We'll see.

Get out of the hobby? Cars to me are like meth to a junkie. I'm hooked! :goofy:

Great to hear....Mark was a real gentleman to deal with...The car will be in the Malibu Area (Topanga)....I don't plan on changing anything.....just going to dyno tune it and hit the road.....

Congrats on your purchase. That is one of my absolute most favorite cars of all time. It's pure gasoline powered sex on wheels. :bow:

Thanks again to Mecom Racer.....Mark.....

The car is simply art...as advertised......

Only problem with the car is that you can never pick your nose while driving....somebody is alway staring..... :D

Yea, you must always be "cool" and such..

Can't wait to see it when it arrives.. We don't shoot many Vettes but I'm going to push to shoot this one.

It's one of my favorites..

I just have to see a full spread in a magazine! You said it, now you have to do it. If you put me in as the builder, please don't forget to include Andrew McCall as well. He worked just as hard on it and should get some credit.

You KNOW I wouldn't forget.. I just need to talk the boss into featuring another corvette :)

If not maybe I will shoot it for Vette magazine.. I have connections you know.. lol
