stingrayHey there, neighbor, pardon my intrusion, but I couldn’t help noticing you’re looking at the C7. Yessiree, that is one mighty spiffy vehicle.

Whew, sure does look swell, doesn’t it? Sleek lines, powerful LT1, seven-speed manual, and so on and so forth. It’ll look great no matter where you take it, but then, it’ll just be another C7 in a few years. It’s high time you stick with something that sets you apart. Now, get a load of this thing.

Ain’t she a beauty?

You can’t take it to the drive-thru, you can’t take it in a parking garage for a graduation ceremony, and you can’t take it to heaven when you keel over. But you can take it to your kid’s promenade, or your friend’s wedding when everyone is ready to post-game it at the local pizza place.

It’s a 2005 Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 Turtle Top. Part bus, part limousine, but all sexiness, this snow white machine represents the prime of its kind. Naysayers may tell you you’re essentially driving around a rebadged U-Haul, but you can tell them to shove it when you show them this:

403 cu-in. of madness, pumping out 300 hp and over 500 lb.-ft. of torque. Photo: {link=https://image.dieselpowermag.com/f/tech/chevy/0912dp_6_6l_duramax_diesel_engine_rebuild/26756860/0912dp_05%2B6_6l_duramax_diesel_engine_rebuild%2Bbackdrop.jpg}DieselPower{/link}

You and up to 33 other people (naysayers excluded, of course) can gallivant down South Las Vegas Boulevard, popping bottles and singing karaoke, fun and fancy-free. That’s thanks to the wet bar and surround sound, just itching to help you and your friends belt out some Journey, know what I’m saying?

Now all we’re asking for this vanilla white vessel is a mere $39,900 on our Craigslist ad number 4067545294. We get it, it’s a big decision and–hey, where are you going? Something wrong?
