Wow. 20 years.

Time does fly. I bought my 1968 Corvette in 1999 and here it is, officially 20 years that I've been on this site. I noticed my shiny new badge. My son wasn't even born when I bought this car, hell, I wasn't even married when I bought the car. Now he' getting ready to go to college next fall and the car is getting torn apart. And the wife amazingly, is still around. I haven't screwed that up yet! Just wanted to lament with the other old timers, getting up there in years....

Hey vette68, time does fly, doesn't it??!! The good news is, at least for us (and I hope for you too!) is that life just keeps getting better. We stay connected to the kids, they have blessed us with 6 grandchildren, we do all sorts of stuff together (even in covid, we bought a new trailer and truck so we can camp together), and I have more time for hobbies including cars. I hope you find the same. Best, Paul

Congrats on 20 years with your car. They really do become part of the Family. me, a little over 30 years now. the day I met my wife, I was driving my red car.
