Monday is the day!
Finally, after 20 years of not owning a corvette, I am picking up my new 2003 anniversary torch red/convertible in the morning. I searched and found one with only 16,000 miles, original owner. The last corvette I owned was in 1994 and being 7 months pregnant, we had to sell it. Baby on the way and no money. I felt bad that day when the new owner picked it up, but my husband promised me that "some"day I would own another one. I have looked, and thought about the 3 corvettes that I owned. But never thought that we would get another. Time and having 3 boys we always have had other things going on in our lives. Small price to pay for a wonderful family. But, now it's my turn, and Tomorrow is the day, it's been a long, long time. Now if I can just keep my 19 year old son from driving it.
Thanks honey for making good on your promise!

Congrats!
I know you're excited to be back in a vette! I can see your 19 yr old drooling over it though! My boys had too many speeding tickets on their crotch rockets, so it wasn't too hard keeping them out of my car! LOL!
