    Im going to go look at the car this weekend. if it all checks out i am going to bring it to tators and if chuck gives it his stamp of approval i dont see why not to buy it. I can buy a low mile cream puff on my budget, its either this or a gen 1 or a z06.

    my budget is in the gen 1 range but my taste and first choices are all gen 2. I guess i shouldnt get my hopes too hi. The only way im going to get into a gen 2 is by finding the deal of a lifetime or buying one that has a history.
