Default great first year!

Well, it's almost time to put the corvette in storage for the winter. Highs here are now in the low 40s...not going to get any better. I have had a great first summer with this car. I drove it home 1100 miles with my son, who still can't believe what dad bought. The wife and I drove out to the Black Hills for a great week. My girls have enjoyed taking the targa off and cruisin town. I've done about 20 projects on it and thanks to CORVETTEFORUM I know tons more about this car than I did when I got it. I can't believe how great it runs. Yep, life is sweet! :D

:cheers: brdd..You will find that this feeling never changes, thru good times and thru bad. Each project just gets you closer to your car. Just think if you lived down south like some of us and never had to put it up for winter :yesnod:

Better not let my wife see this. She grew up in the California desert and often complains about our long canadian winters. Me thinks she gets home sick every now & then :yesnod:
