Default Best Vette Yet!

I was met at the airport in Albany New York by the seller and then drove my new, to me, 2003 50th Anniversary edition convertible back to Michigan. What a great ride top down and top up. When I got home I took my wife for a ride and she immediately fell in love with the car when, and I'm not kidding, she turned on the radio and Prince belted out
"Little Red Corvette." I started with a '67 red Vette after graduating from college and at 68 I am enjoying the best Vette yet. Thanks to all of you for your input into this great forum.
