Taking the Corvettes with us
After years of talking about it and numerous vacations here, my wife and I have made the move to Hawaii to retire. We decided to have both of the Corvettes shipped and they should be arriving the week of Nov. 19th. Finding a home with a three car detached garage with a garage workshop sold the deal for me. Won't have to worry about not driving the Corvette in the winter due to snow! Looking forward to meeting some of the other Corvette owners here - Aloha

Very cool! Looking forward to more pics and maybe some of the garage man cave as well. It looks like a great piece of real estate!
Just be careful and don't give into the urge to drive around in a red Ferrari, wearing a Detroit Tigers baseball cap and way-too-much-leg-showing man shorts!

As a sidenote, on our first night in the house the sirens blared and police cars came up and down the streets with the tsunami warning over the loudspeakers from the earthquake in Canada. We didn't get much at all on this side of the island - 3 ft above normal tide they said. On the side of a hill 150 ft above seal level, I feel pretty safe from tsunamis.
