U.S. car buyers seeking a new Corvette should look under the bonnet - because Oscar winner ADRIEN BRODY has turned one new motor into a limited-edition special.

The Pianist star, an avid motor enthusiast, signed the inside of a new Corvette engine during a recent visit to a Detroit, Michigan car plant. He reveals, “I have a Corvette and I got to go to the factory in Detroit where GM (General Motors) let me help build the engine with a technician. “I signed it ‘Adrien’s Killer Vet’, and I drew a skull and crossbones in metallic marker.

I trust and hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving yesterday. I had wanted to post a bunch of stuff yesterday while at home and I BLEW the mother board out of my computer. I was then thankful for not throwing it out the window……

For those of you looking for that last minute Corvette deal, folks I mean to tell you, these are incredible prices and opportunities you may be overlooking. The market and everyones mindset changes as spring hits, you can beat that market and save money doing it. Consider what we have to offer and I’ll all I can and then some to assist. I appreciate your flexibility. Would hate to see you say….”OH….I should of done that deal at EVS…” it’s right here, right now for you. ALL CORVETTE marked way down to turn over inventory, AT or WAY below GM supplier - no authorization #’s needed….Thanks again for the consideration.

I also apologize if you are experiencing issues with our site - I am working on that too…
NOW LET’S TALK SOME FOOTBALL…
