Well it was a piece, but on the way home to get it, i was in the nova our family has, a bonneville was behind me, and a c5 vette behind it. I was hey, that'* a good timeline for my cars, maybe it'* an omen...

Excellent pictures!!!
Doesn't hurt that you've got a Vette in 1/2 of them either.... sweet ride.
The black Bonnie looks really good too... too bad she can't share the garage anymore.

A little off topic and a little long, but here'* some of my car history...
I had been wanting a Vette ever since I could drive, but until I graduated from college it was out of the budget. In college I used to have an 88 Fiero GT that I raced at the SCCA auto-x'* a few time a month. I had done some mods to improve the handling, but the stiff suspension that made the car handle great on the track turned it into an uncomfortable car on the street. My wife (girlfriend at the time) had an 86 IROC-Z that got around terrible in the snow. I talked her into trading it in for a 92 Bonneville which really worked out well for her. I had a long commute to school my last two years so I was always wanting to borrow her Bonne. It didn't take long for me to sell the Fiero GT and buy my own Bonne, which is the same one I'm driving now. We moved to Colorado about 4 years ago sold her Bonne and bought the Blazer so we had a 4x4 and a better way to travel with our dog. About a year ago I was finally able to find the Corvette that I had wanted for so long for the right price. (less than one of my co-workers paid for his new Honda Civic). I recently turrned 30 so my insurance isn't bad on it. Bonne is still my daily driver and problably will be for a while. The Vette is more of my weekend / road trip car. Many of the people I work with don't even know I have it.
