Default Birthday present

This year I turn 60 and my brother is 65. We decided to buy new C7's and do the museum delivery. Saw the cars on Corvette Blvd. yesterday and pick up today! That's my wife next to mine and my brother in front of his.

That's a great idea - brothers buying two Corvette's . I wonder if I could get one of my brothers to do the same. Good luck with R8C delivery and have fun driving around Bowling Green. Maybe a steak dinner tonight at the Montanna Grille to celebrate?

So your OLDER brother got black wheels and you got chrome. Puts the lie to the whole meme!

Happy birthday to you and congratulations to both you and your brother on the new Corvettes! Are you driving it to California or shipping it?

Museum delivery was awesome! We're driving back to California now, first stop Springfield, MO. Getting my 500 mile oil change at Reliable Chevrolet. What an amazing car, and today we get to really start driving them!
