I saw the seller's name and thought "gee, corvettesbyturner sounds
familiar." Then I looked at the main picture and thought "gee, that

"gee, I was going to be going by there anyway today, maybe I should stop
to laugh...or maybe cry."
That place is only about 20 minutes from here and Marci drives by it a
few times a day.
