feel very privileged to own one....used to just wash it and look at it all shined up and worry about where I drive it as to not get it dirty/damaged/keep miles down........now I just drive the heck out of it and enjoy it sooo much more! gotta drive/enjoy these cars....why just preserve it for the next guy. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO REALIZE THIS great video....

I never saw it in that form but there was a pop movie out a few years ago called Up! which had a similar theme.

I'm new to Corvette but my DD all my life has been a bike. I am weary of all the stories I get from mostly old guys about how they always wanted to ride but one thing or another, such as a scolding wife who said they are dangerous, kept them away.

In the end, I can't decide if this video is touching or pathetic.

Good job, Sir! It's the dreamers that keep the dream alive! (and I mean, the legal way...LoL)

1st time I've seen this video. It was great - up until the last part - that's where it got sad and touchy.

I recently got a C6 Vert - and these were my thoughts. You live NOW, live your dream NOW. It's hard as life gets in the way. You die when your dreams/hope dies - so never give up on your dreams and TRY to fulfill them NOW.
