Corvette wives
Tomorrow is our 40th wedding anniv...since 1979, Judy has been a very good sport regarding this vette hobby...Begining 27 years ago she drove our camper to autocross events helping us set up race courses,cooking meals,overnighting in parking lots. But she loves road trips..our first was San Diego-Crater Lake,Oregon..our next biggest was 7,000 mile cross country San Diego-Virginia and many 500-700 mile trips in between,never complaining about the uncomfortable 78 passenger seat...She drives the 78 occasionally today...but will not drive the 69 as it "scares" her...someday ???

Congrats and Happy Anniversary.
I've told this story before with little fanfare. But when you think of the odds.....
Anyway, We bought our '72 in 1989. When I got around to start the restification, I dropped the tank and lo and behold, the build date on the tank sticker was the very day and year of our marriage
How could I ever sell this car?
