Default 10 years of ownership

so yesterday marked 10 years since I bought mine. As many can attest, this was a lifelong dream of mine, so it was definitely one of the happiest days of my life. Here's a couple of pics from yesterday

I like the Black/Red combo. Always wanted a Corvette with the red guts!

Outstanding. Nice looking car for certain. Hope you enjoyed the anniversary with a nice ride enjoying the fall foliage.

2016 will mark 30 years of ownership for mine, and being a long term owner definitely helps knowing the 'ins-and'outs' of your vehicle. I only wish the research technology (internet based) was available when I bought the car back then...

Thanks everyone. Yes I did get the car out for a short drive, not as long as I would have liked, but fun nonetheless. We re-created a pic from 10 years ago with my young daughters at the time in front of the car, and if I could have gotten the old pic to load I'd show it here. I would not be at all surprised if I still have it 10 years from now.
