Great story on how a person makes their dream come true when you work hard. Not stay home and sit and wait for the welfare checks to come in. Thanks for your service. SEMPER FI.

Man, after reading all you've done to get to your dream my hat is off to you!! I can't honestly say that I could have stuck with it like you. Don't forget to include your wife in the celebration, if she's like mine, she will enjoy all that goes with a Corvette as much as you. Congrats and keep living that dream !!!

I am still beyond humbled at the class you gents have! Someone must have found this on page 4, wow. I'm starting to feel like an attention ho, please let the thread die!

I hired a local truck just like the one pictured on page 1, of MacMulkins tilt ramp. We just reversed the proccess to unload. Macmulkin did it for free, my local guy charged me $120. Corvette tax? .

The toughest check I think I've written was the day I went into the DMV and forked over 3 large in taxes.

Well said. We're going to take a mini vacation with it in May and run around Talladega speedway, and can't wait!

Thinking you're perhaps a long haul o/o you now have your family AND a Corvette to put a smile on your face in the lonely times on the road. Enjoy!
