I finally did it!
Owning the "Legendary Chevrolet Corvette" has been a life long dream of mine since I was old enough to drive. This last week I made the last payment. I sure that everyone on this forum comes from different places financially. I would consider myself far from wealthy, so paying this off is a big deal for me. Now I can enjoy the thrill of driving this car for many years to come.

Congrats! Six years from now I'll be making the same kind of post, on the bright side the C5 is a timeless design so in six years I'm sure I'll still have people thinking it's a new Corvette.
