If you have a Vette I have a Criterion I would consider rading. You know how to reach me.

You were close enough take that picture, why didn't you buy it? You didn't want THAT one? Just one like it?
Richard is like a little child ordering ice cream. He wants everything that he sees, and once he gets it, he wants something different. This phase will pass just like his one again, off again sale of his ambulances. Please stay tuned for the next changing of his mind..

Weren't you looking for a snowmobile a few years back?
I owned these two snowmobiles for a couple years then sold them. The orange Vette already was sold and probably a phase but, life is good. Hey, I'm still married for 33 years and have not gotten out of that phase yet.
I've owned 3 Vette's over the years. My first was a White 73, then a Beige 76 and finally a Black & Silver 80.

You had one.....
A white one which I used to drive on weekends when you were working when we were kids. You didn't like it much as I recall, and didn't keep it long. Are you sure you want to try to get in and out of that thing now at your age. That seat is a loooooooooong way down for us old guys.

You're a funny man there Mr. Smith. As I recall one weekend we traded cars so I could use your black Buick to pick relatives up in Chicago. You had my Vette and the battery cable rotted off and left you stranded. Not sure if I ever reimbursed you for that Brady.
I can still handle getting in and out of anything
I like the orange Vette above having fond memories of the days while living at the Reigle Funeral Home Sunset Chapel in Flint, MI. Mark Weiss and his wife lived in the other apartment and parked their orange 76 Vette in the garage of the funeral home with the keys in it. On occassion Scott Walker and I would take it out for a spin when Mark wasn't around.
Oh for the good ole days eh!!!!
over rated plastic toys, that fall apart if you play with them. but for each there own. lucky for me I never owned one. My friends did and I learned from them. but if your going to get one get a good one, a 67 with 427 and 2 4s in a open car would be the one to find. something you really smile when you herd it around the block and then put it back away till the next time. better then any upper you can get street corner or pharmacy

This my friend is the most sought after Corvette nowadays.
Get a "4 Door 'Vette":
Like this one?

I had forgotten about that.....
I had forgotten about the time it wouldn't start. It was a very nice car, but I just don't think my back would take getting in and out of it now. If I see anybody looking for a Criterion I will send them your way.

I say "Wrap your ass in fiberglass ! Drive a vette !"
I have had one for 23 years and don't plan on selling it.
But I have to say my hearses are something I would rather have !

I love the 96 Impala's and almost bought one last summer.
Enjoy the ride,
Darren

How about one of these....
I like these much better than a Vette and back in the day were as fast if not a bit quicker. I have had mine since 1992 and the value continues to climb as well. Also, they only have two doors, instead of four. Might try to have it in Hudson as well as my limo.

That was probably my favorite modern daily driver car, but it sucked up the gas, squeaked all the time, and was a pain in the a** to keep looking nice. I may be less high-strung to put up with it these days though...
That is the nice thing about the Grand National, it's only a V6 but turbo charged, has alot of power when you want it, but gets very decent gas mileage.

You want a Vette?
As my dad used to say: your old enough to know that your wants won't hurt you or something like that.
