Actually,she's not on the same page as me with the garage thing,but I've got 2 years to work on that...wish me luck.

Uh oh!! Looks like you got busted by the Boss!!



Let her know that the great folks on this forum can help you find a great Vette at a manageable price. Don't wait too long to join the Corvette Family... You'll both find out that being a Vette owner is MUCH more than just driving the car. You'll meet wonderful people and find yourself surrounded by fun things to do and great people to help out anytime you have a problem or a question.
