I remember when I bought my '76 17 years ago, and telling my mother "It sure cures the receding hairline" when she asked why I wasted money on it.

Not quite 30 years younger, but it did put a boost in the step.

Post count celebrations are not allowed! Just kidding, first post celebrations are always welcome and I welcome you. There is a fountain of youth, it's called Corvette! This is why I'm Corvette Kid, even though I have four granddaughters. I'm eternally 18 every time I strap into the cockpit.

Welcome to CF and congrats on getting your 93 Vette.
I know what you mean about feeling younger when behind the wheel, I find it hard to act my age when driving my 92 sometimes. Lets see some pics of your Vette in your next post. I see that you are in MI so I guess your car is away for the winter like mine is. Can't wait till spring .

You aren't kidding when you say it makes you feel 30 years younger. I hide my silver hair under a cap and hit the street with the top down and tunes up hard. Everyone says I don't look my age anyway. Mught as well act younger.

Welcome on!!

Welcome Tim

I would say that my car makes me feel 30 years younger but that would make me like seven years old and I couldn't even drive yet.

Let me just say that it keeps me young!

Pics would be great when you have some.

I have to wear a cap to keep the top of my head from getting sunburned "with the top down and tunes up hard." I'd love a thick head of any color hair.

Tim, there is a ton of information here. Read and enjoy. And, welcome to the addiction.

Welcome

Great bunch of guys here with a ton of information on the Vette.

I've always said that there is a fountain of youth...

It's called a Corvette.

Have fun with your new ride.

Gary
