Wow that is awesome! I never viewed it before today. There is a whole lot of truth to that video. I have had many elderly people tell me they always wanted a Corvette but never purchased one. Thanks for sharing!

I am sure this is true for some people. They have always wanted one, but other priorities came first and they never realized their dream. For us that have we are very lucky to have had the honor and privilege to drive the Great American Sports Car.

I have been lucky enough to have had 5 in my life time and I expect more before they put in the ground.

Default So true

It took me 60 years before I was able to finally realize my childhood dream. I bought a 2004 coupe and was hooked. Now at 62 I just moved into a 2007 coupe and don't plan on ever being without one. Life's priorities need to come first but when the chance was finally there I'm glad I never lost interest in the dream. I'm just happy I didn't end up like the guy in this commercial and so many others that never get the pleasure of experiencing the incredible feeling of Corvette ownership. Have a great day Corvette brothers and sisters.

I've never seen that video, so I thank you for the post!

Priority after priority, kept me from my Corvette for 52 years.

It doesn't matter if I buy another one or not, what's important is my dream was realized.

That sure is truth, that is why I enjoy the car now, that I can still get into it.

That was a cool video! I admit it, I was expecting a montage of Corvette's lost to accidents.

You are right, when found the link, I was not expecting what I saw. As I said earlier, life is not what we always hope for and priorities must take place for the vast majority of us and just shows never give up on your dream.

This Video made my day!

THANKS!

After a week of constant snow (near Buffalo, NY) we went to Church

this morning and discovered this video when we got home.

Hope the day continues to get better?

That's an ungodly amount of snow that got dumped on that area. I can't begin to imagine digging my way out of that. Stay safe.

Glad he made it back alright. I only know what I've seen about it on the news, but snow that deep seems dangerous.
