Congrats Mike. I've never had the pleasure of meeting you or buying a Corvette from you. (bought 15 of them). BUT I will contact you next year when I get ready to buy a C7.

Hey here's an idea. After 35 years you deserve some personal advertising. How about a corvette logo t-shirt that says "I bought my corvette from Mike Furman!" You can give them away with each new corvette, or actually I would buy one.

Be nice Forum.

Heartiest congrats on this important anniversary, Mike.
It's good to do business with a salesman who is also a fan and enthusiast of the cars that he sells. Looking forward to my new C7 when my number comes up on your list.

Default Congrats Mike

Mike I am enjoying my 427 that I bought from you. I will buy my Hi-Po C7 from you too. Buying a Corvette from you is so easy and painless, it was the best buying experience ever. I look forward to more Golf events together too.
Thank you for your dedication to the American Sports Car; the new C7 is awesome. Corvette Forum members have done well due to your efforts and service. Keep it going man. Most of us on CF will keep on buying many more Corvettes and many of us will come to you to make our next purchase.
Congratulations on 35 impressive working years.

Cassius was about 75 in 1978 and I don't believe he was around more then a few yrs after that...next to impossible. I am just glad I could remember his name!

Mike,

I consider it my good fortune to have met you several years ago, and I congratulate you on 35 years of being so involved with the automotive industry and Corvettes.

This is a perfect example of why I've said over the years words to the effect that "Corvette is more than a car, It's a community."
