I lost my father many, many years ago - 38 years to be exact. There is never a day that passes that I don't think about him - even briefly. I have only my memories and his .45 M1911A pistol. The point is that gun connects me to him. When I hold that gun in my hand, knowing that he once held that in his hand connects me to him
If your father wanted you to have that Vette - you owe it to yourself and to his memory to make it happen. Every time you sit behind the wheel of that car and hold the steering wheel in your hands, he'll be there with you.
I am terribly sorry for your loss......

Also, I wasn't aware of the commeraderie that exists between Corvette owners. Every single 'Vette owner I've passed waves at me from C1 to C6 and everything in between. There's a special bond that I've never experienced before.
Needless to say, I'm working with my Mother to buy my Dad's C5. I understand now why he wanted me to have the car. I'm hopeful that she and I can work out a deal and my Dad's last dream can come true.
