    Default A new Grand Sport Vert is in my Future!!!

    The wife and I have been mulling it over and checking out a Jet Stream Blue GS Vert on our local dealers floor... Well then, all of a sudden the numbers are looking real good! A 3LT with most of the goodies for $60K. Gonna sell off the '04 Vert real quick to a friend who has wanted it for some time.
    Sure hope the Z16s get along real well in the garage at night... the only real question will be who gets the top on the lift this winter!

    The deal is done! Got a buyer for the '04 Vert on the first day... an old friend who knows the car!! We will be picking up our second Z16 on Friday.

    I've got an '04 vert and an '04 Z16... what does that tell you?? The wife said I could order a new GS and I chose to keep what makes me happy!! I'll take a clean C5 over the Euro C6 anytime.

    She decided that we should get the GS since usually she drives the Vert, who am I to say she's wrong? I'll just have to muddle through...
