Vette(s): 1973 Stingray Coupe and C5 and C6 Coupes.

Back in 1992 I bought a brand spankin new Bonneville SSE. It has served well as a my daily driver and at 4 miles to work only has 72K miles on the ticker. But ya know, after over 13 years, its just time for a change.

Yesterday I picked up a 2002 Coupe to add to the stable as my daily driver. The latest addition is a silver coupe, black interior,  glass top, automatic, 1SC options (HUD, sports seats, etc.) with 24K miles.

Ya know, one can never have too many Vette's.      Oh life is good.

P.S. Does this mean the C3 is getting moved out of the garage... absolutely positively NO. The garage arrangements remain as is with the C3 and Mag Red C5 inside and the daily driver decorating the driveway.

Save the wave ...

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

As opposed to a 89 Celebrity 4 cyl as a daily driver....Wanna trade?????  It couldn't hurt to ask      

Actually I think it great! Enjoy it!

[QUOTE=Tuxblacray] I hope people treat your daily driver better than my truck! [/QUOTE]

Well, I got lucky with the Bonneville, only 1 very small door dingy about 10 years ago.  So I've got my fingers crossed.

And if I need to travel to questionable locations I can always take my wife's (older) Explorer. (But PLEASE don't anybody let her know of my secret plans   .)

Mike, I plan to leave it mostly stock. Some mild appearance mods, eventually maybe a different exhaust. No HID headlights for this one.
