Congrats Dinko, I hope it is everything you hope for and more. Welcome to the world of "wanna race" "how much did it cost" "nice corvette" and the list goes on. So, please tell me you are going to take it to the track (sebring) and learn to drive it to its limits?

Regards,

Greg

Going to Cars for the Cure?

Thank you! I've already been asked if it was a kit car ??

I have no plans to go to Sebring, it's just a fun toy for me. I'm not a race car driver but it wouldn't to learn a few things.

I'm already registered for Cars for the Cure. Just have to come up with a few bucks to officially confirm.. I think I've gone broke with this car.

Not going to paint the wheels black. All I'm thinking right now is paint the calipers pearl green, tint, and smoke out some lights..... and hardwire the V1. That's all.

As far as a DD, I hate to have it sit in the garage, the car is meant to be driven not to sit. I don't know why people buy these things and only drive them once or twice a month.

Thank you brotha! I'll still be around to pick on you MB guys. We'll see, I might re-join the MB community as a owner again in the future.

Hah, I agree with that one. This is my old car, traded to the MBZ because I saw the upcoming maintenance costs and almost pooped myself. I do miss the looks tho...

OMG, that car is sooo beautiful. But I agree on the meintenance cost. Now you know why people only drive them a few thousand miles a year. I know a guy who's ferarri mechanic and probably makes well into six figures. Pretty hard to do for a mechanic.

Did you get yours at MSRP? If I could get one at MSRP I would do it in a heartbeat.
