CONGRATS! You are going to love it once Spring does arrive! Man, I would be going nuts and the days must be dragging by?

The hardest part is once you have driven it and then you have to store it. I deployed about four months ago and have been going through withdrawls since I left the vette!



A wave from the Western Pacific my friend!

Hi Allen:

I live in DeWitt and picked up my spiral gray 2003 coupe last Wednesday. Since then I've already joined the Syracuse Corvette Club and have orders in to West Coast Corvette and Ecklers. Where did you buy yours? I got mine in Pittsburgh.

If we're lucky we can be out and about in another 4 to 6 weeks. Maybe we can get together?

Bill

Micah, winters are just plain silly (long,cold) here in Central NY. Been thinking about a more Vette friendly atmosphere. Come to think of it, how are those house prices out on that Island?

Take care
