37 yrs between corvettes
my last corvette was a silver 64 vert. it was stolen in oct of 1969. just bought a 2004 siver vert today. they have come a long way in 40 yrs. more gadets than i know what to do with. took about an hour just to read the owners manual and i am still not sure how everything works. picking it up tomorrow and hoping the rain will end. just in time for a vacation in sept.

Someone else had a Vette stolen 37 years ago and actually got it back
I guess you never know, maybe you'll have two sometime soon
Anyway, Congratulations on the new Vette and welcome
