Default New member...First Vette 11.25.16 Yeaaa!

Hello All,
My name is Lisa I have loved corvettes since I was knee high! I'd see them drive down my street every once in a while in my home town of Peoria, IL ....point...and say "SUNSHINE"! My goal was to have one at the age of 50 and I let myself down. A year later and I am tickled to say I have my "SUNSHINE" ....red hot 2001 convertible! I am one to celebrate things in life however I managed to keep this purchase under wraps...why well for once I just want to roll up and roll out in my "SUNSHINE" as if I had it all my life...ha..... I managed to tell 2 co workers, one I had to because she was nice enough to lend me her garage to store it up for the winter until my Husband can clear space. Right ...yes I had a plan! Not having a garage did not stop me...ha...I am soooo excited like a kid in a candy store. I live in Colorado for the past 30 yrs so it's about to get snowy here. We have been spoiled with great summer and fall weather... Can't wait to officially get her home into my garage and jump in and roll out at the drop of a dime. Would love to get my seats redone in red and black or something new and maybe upgrade my stereo! that's about it for now. Thanks all
Ms. Jackson aka Richardson
