I'm sure it wasn't the brightest move ever but I traded in my almost 3 year old Aura for an '05 Z51 with 13k miles, I'm picking it up tomorrow after work. I still have the 3rd gen and will keep autocrossing and modding it as long as it's still around.
Apparently the former owner was in a Corvette club and only took it out on weekends, he traded it in for a new Camaro!

This is why I'll never have another nice daily driver. I'd also glass it over and throw some touch-up paint over it and I doubt you'll be able to tell it's there. It's only a matter of time until you scratch it up again.

If it helps, I'll give a third vote for this fix. I suspect this is going to happen again at some point. bock |
