I'm 10 years younger than my car and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm 23 and my car is 33.

51 now, bought my first Corvette 1975. I was an Airman in the USAF in Goldsboro, NC. It was 10 and I was 9 years older. My present Corvette is 39 and doing alot better since I bought it June 06. My wife also asks me what I want to be when I grow up.......I tell her I want to be a retired USAF Veteran. Well, that was 12 1/2 years ago.


The only true reward we have, is how we feel about our self. Anything else is temporary. Tank
