The plan is actually to move in the other direction and get a C3 next, though my wife keeps threatening to get an AE coupe as a daily driver instead ...

We took Grace out today - had a blast. Waved at various Corvettes (and a very nice Ferrari), blasted down the back roads, stared at the car when it was parked.

One of the best decisions I've ever made ...

My wife says it feels different driving Grace now. All I know is that she is still one achingly gorgeous car ... and i bet she stays that way. Amazing Grace

A great Vette to have. Take care and enjoy.
