Bought My First Corvette
It took me 25 years, but I'm now a proud owner of a 1980 Red Corvette. It was recently painted and the original motor was rebuilt and only has 800 miles. I did get all the maintenance paperwork and I'm the 3rd owner.
The 2nd owner had paperwork to show over his 16 years of owning the car, he invested over $22,000. WOW
Just thought I would let everyone know.

How do you show your pictures? I clicked insert images, but I don't know how to use it.
