The $9500 2009 Corvette...

Ok, my buddy Bryan paid more for his 2009 Corvette than simply the $9500 check he handed over to GM. In fact he also traded in a 2005 Corvette with 12k miles. In case you are wondering, that's a smokin' deal. He was the original owner of the 2005 and it was in the shop about 20 times for all sorts of problems. So he returned it—under his state Lemon Law. Woo hoo! Here's the 2005:





And here's his new 2009:





The hood ornament on the 2009 is actually his uncle who went along to pick up the new car at the National Corvette Museum. Props to Bryan for returning a turd (and to GM for taking it back.)
