@ LStathas;

I agree with what was mentioned earlier - you saved yourself a $10k buy-in, and who knows how much extra to get it up to snuff...

About the "Corvette owners";
Sure there is a high percentage of Corvette owners that fit the stereotype lined out in prior posts, but simply white-washing them as Corvette owner is is misnomer;
The douche-baggery takes on all different forms, but boils down to elitism;
There's Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford, and (gasp) Pontiac elitists.
Unfortunately Corvettes are easy to pigeon hole here because Corvettes are generally expensive... and I need not explain what often happens when people start to see themselves as being in a different class because of financial where with all.

I appreciate the people on this forum because regardless of financial well being, most everyone here seems to be generally positive an helpful.

There really aren't many things he approves of so, needless to say, he is easily riled.
unfortunately I have noticed this in my casual search for parts to make my car as correct as financially feasible.
