NOPE
actually have a GMC 1500 pickup and my grampappies old lincoln whuich got donated.
I am a german car fan. My M Coupe never gave me any touble. And teh interior was trick plus t handled exquisitley and was very quick. Not quite as fast as a new vette but quick none the less. I happened to like the interior appointments better as well as the exterior styling (some peopel really hated the way my car looked though, but i liked it)
Ron, I would look around for a vintage vette from the 60s or 70s

Ron, LMAO I even burnt my left hand a couple of times getting out of my Vette after having a few too many to drink. Sobers you up real fast. Not that I would drink and drive anymore.

Ron, I personally would not consider either the 84 or the 85 for
10-12K. A few thousand more and you would be into a 92. Last week I saw a 2003 coupe with low miles at a Knoxville Chevy dealer for $24,900?? Besides the point but there are some great deals out there on newer corvettes.

Dredgeking, I didn't know you knew Ron that well. LOL
