My First Vette
To All,
I just purchased my first Corvette. A 1999 Convertible, white/oak, auto, with 7500 miles. The original owner was a lady who had been given it as a 60th birthday present and she rarely drove it.
Come to think of it, the last time I even rode in a corvette was in 1968 when a friend of mine was selling his 1967 big block 435 hp because he was drafted to Vietnam. I couldn't afford his asking price of $3500!!!
Anyway, with 350 sunny days a year here in Tucson, I suppose the top won't be up much. Here's a photo taken yesterday (2/12/06 and 80 degrees)
