Default First Anniversary

Thanksgiving Day was my first year anniversary of being reunited with my 1970 after a thirty four absence. This morning my wife and I went to breakfast and cruised the beach. We're enjoying the car as much now if not more than we did in our twenties. Good times.
Thanks to this forum - any problems that do come up with car can be or have been addressed with good information. Looking forward to many more years of riding enjoyment.
With that said, have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Sounds like me. In August I got my first Vette since 1978 (wife and I were married in 76 with my 69). Still have the wife.

Only now she says, "it's too fast, too loud and too little."

My wife was able to buy 'our' very car back, that's what makes it so special to us. But now she says it's nice, it's fast, it's cool looking and "I want to drive it!"

I have to make myself smarter on posting pictures. I'd made an attempt a year ago to post a few when I got the car and it didn't work for me. However, Rethorsecop13 was nice enough to help me out and was able to post them. They are under a thread called 'Happy Thanksgiving To Me' posted last year.
