I was just saying the other day that 2012 C4 GTS they have was over priced. If only they'd knock $250 off, then I'd be a buyer... :roll:
Yeah, local dealer here has similar killer deals. 0.5% discount.... phenomenal red tag sale!! I'll take two, please.

It gets better. If you quote a post where the text has been replaced, because the replacement text contains the string in question, the substitution happens again. It's the gift that keeps giving. :lol:

Same here. We got adopted by some (4) wild kittens that lost there mom on the road out front. They soon became part of the family...Then a second kitten showed up 6 months later, she never left. Very entertaining creatures!

Our last cat lived 20 years, and she was pretty much incontinent for the last three. I'm good with no cats / no box of feces in the house for a bit longer. I like cats, but...20 years.

Set some new personal best times getting down the mountain from Big Bear to San Diego yesterday in the Corvette. There was a BMW test mule (full camo) blasting down the mountain ahead of me...I'm pretty sure he was ROYALLY pissed that he couldn't out-corner a 24-year-old 90's time machine.
