Default Waited 24 years..

So I am officially a Corvette owner. Kinda has a nice ring to it.
It's always been a dream to own one and after 24 years of driving I finally have one. Now it's not new or anything special but it's special to me. Found an 86 with only 48k on her. Previous owner has already taken care of most of the age and year specific issues(gaskets,maf sensor,injectors,window sweeps n switches). Interior is pretty clean and no rips or stains. Best of all the car has no rust anywhere. Pretty excited!

Hahaha! Yes I waited too long. I did it backwards. Instead of getting a vette, then getting married/house/kids, I took the long route. Here she is, dirty i know.

Welcome!
Car looks clean. My dad had a 1989 model. Blue on blue, it was a nice and fun car.
