Pinch me ... am I dreaming?

I've been dreaming of owning a Corvette Since I was 9 ... and now I finally have one. Buying your dream car is kinda surreal, quick pinch me ... am I dreaming?

As of 1/25/2013 I'm a proud owner of a Stock Silver 2007 Corvette Coupe with all the bells and whistles!
This may sound corny, but with a beautiful supportive wife, cute makes me laugh daughter and mah dog, my life is almost complete. (Just need a 1990 Countach)

Kudos, enjoy your car. I know about long waits.

After watching 'vettes go by for over 50 years, I just got mine last week, 1/24/13.

How about a photo?

I was hooked at the age of 12 when I saw my first SWC. Finally at 59 I bought my first corvette. Life is good and welcome to the club....its never too late for dreams to come true

Uploaded a photo, is pending review. Don't mind the cheesy grin on my face.

Congrats on your dream car, there are a lot of us that have waited a long time. Got my first one in September. I agree, it does seem unreal. Enjoy yourself!
