Know the feeling shared the same dream and bought mine a year ago at "58". Going to dust here off right now. Everytime I push the start button I get that chill down my spine. Set yourself a Photo-Bucket account up and share some photo. Heres my baby taking a nap.

Thank You All!as soon as I can wash her I will put up a photo. Photobucket..so I'm assuming I can't just upload a picture right from my PC. Now my wife gets to drive my Z28 1998 NBM. Camaro Z28 and a Corvette does it get any better. lol.
