BOUGHT AN '86 CORVETTE..........

that I found on Craig's List this morning. I was browsing about 1030 this morning and this Corvette popped up at 0945. Price...............$4,900.00. That sounded pretty good so we hoped in the car and headed for Chico this afternoon. Also stopped on the way to check out an 86 Honda 150 Motor Scooter. Guy wanted too much for the scooter and was pretty firm on his price and declined my offer. The scooter would have been great around town and in Yuma. It was not to be.

Checked out the Corvette next. Becky sworn up and down that it would increase her bra size if we bought it.........and I was also sure it that it might increase the size of other body parts if I were driving it! Sorta like the boost one gets from riding a Harley!

In the end common sense kicked in and we left Chico in the Suzuki. I lied about buying it; but, it still there for sale. This big problem with the Corvette is that it would probably not become a Classic..........too many made and the demand is not that great for this particular coupe; or, so ses a website devoted to Corvettes.

We then went to the Casino where I had a $20.00 "free" coke.

End of day. It was still fun.............we'd be "styling" tooling down the road in the Vette; but, sometimes we get wiser as we get "older". Oh, another bad point, I put a bump on my noggin climbing out of the damn thing!

Later. W&B
