You are a lucky man to have a wife like that!! Welcome to the Forum! This place will become your "home-away-from-home". However, with a wife like that...you'd better stay at home!! :yesnod:

Very nice looking '73. My first Corvette was a white '79. I will always have a soft spot for white Vettes!!

....Oh yeah, what did I get her for our anniversary? Flowers. But you can bet I'll do better next year....
Hey... Flowers are cool. Women like flowers... It's not like you got her a new vacuum cleaner or a new ironing board.... 'course, I'd be bringing her flowers every day!

Anyway... Welcome... Great story.

Definately the best first post.
Congratulations on a fine piece of hardware and even finer piece of "software".
Oh yeah, I second the DIAMONDS thought.

That is an amazing story. You have an awesome, generous wife! I hope I will see you around the Tidewater area sometime! Where exactly do you live in Tidewater? There's a good group of Corvette guys out here that cruise and I'd love to have another C3 in the group.

Cheers,

Stephen

I think you should put a nice shiney piece of chrome on the Corvette each year in honor of her birthday. You know keep her involved in the car hobby.
