A big HIGH FIVE to Jim Dugan!! As you know (if you've been following our trade), we ended up trading his Compuware Corvette C5R for my Ltd. Edition Airstream. It was an even-up trade (no cash exchanged hands). The US Post office made out like a bandit on this trade for sure!
Jim is a straight up gentleman and someone I would highly recommend to deal with be it a trade or a sale. Absolutely a first class guy. And, he posts some really good pictures, too.
Mr. Mong, the 'Vette is stunning. GMP really outdid themselves with these 'Vettes. The detail would blow you away. It's one of those diecasts that you really have to see up close to fully appreciate.
Others have posted here about trades and whether the D4C should get a percentage because the deal began on this forum. To be clear, I will send Jay an additional donation in recognition of the fact the deal started here. I have no issues with that whatsoever.
But, the key here is my tip of the hat to Jimbo! They don't come any better then him.
I'll try to post some pics of the 'Vette soon. I'm still working on wiping the drool off it. L.O.L!

A true WIN / WIN for all ... now that is a great story.
Both parties won.
Both ends of the trade had XCLNT diecast examples.
Both ends have a WOW factor of 10!
Sitting here shaking my head in agreement and smiling from ear to ear
Happy for both of you.

I saw Blake perform it on The Voice. I just about ruined a new pair of Fruit of the Looms when I saw it. I just kept thinking what the girls who kiss them must be like. I was laughing so hard I could hardly control myself. Funny song.
