(IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3469/3733023897_358836f0d6.jpg) The pics don't do it justice....it is VERY CLEAN! I looked for a while, and cars that looked perfect in the photos were crap in person...this car was advertised with a crappy cell phone pic and I was worried I was wasting my time going to see it....as the guy said he had no camera to take better pictures....but it was as advertised and is sweet inside and out. I got a SWEET deal on it as the guy was desperate to sell it and I was at the right place at the right time..... I LOVE IT! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

I'm like a little kid... i sit here at work just waiting for lunch to go for a drive, then i get back and i'm anxious to leave at night to go drive! I am the same....I drive it almost every day.....and still LOOK for opportunities to drive it. I did not want a stick in it. I have the race car, so I don't need to track it, and here in the bay area traffic can be BRUTAL, so I wanted something that I could cruise in and still sit in traffic and not worry about shifting. Plus, a plus in helping me convince the wife to buy it, I let her drive it a few times a month to work, and when she wants......in THAT traffic she needs a auto. The paddle shifters are neat, you can really drive it hard and keep it in any gear like a stick...I hear it is even better if you get it programmed. I used it a lot at first, now I just use "S" for sport most of the time and let the tranny shift. It gets GREAT gas mileage.....over 19 MPG when I am sane....and that is 90% in town. On the highway I have seen over 32 MPG!. By the way....we just got back from a 10 day cruise to Alaska! Ketchikan, Haines, Juneau and Victoria.....it was 92 degrees in Haines! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) And 80+ everywhere else! YIKES. Not much snow on them mountains either......Al Gore....where are you....

Torch Red, 6 speed, 38k miles and she is bone stock right down to the skip shift! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Just a cell phone pic for now. Hope to get some nice shots soon, but i've been too busy driving! (IMG:http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/1184/vette.jpg)
