You just reminded me of the time years ago when my dad bought my mother a Camaro Iroc Z for mothers day. Took years of flowers to fix that one.


This is a great place though. Whatever your having issues with, someone here has gone through it.

Hard to find time to enjoy your corvette sometimes being in the military. Trust me I know that one.
