Fond Memories
As you can see from this photo taken, mine wasn't on the front row. I must say, after just putting in a twelve hour day
at work, then making a six hour road trip to be where I was at that moment, my adrenaline was still kinda out of control
as I stood there gazing upon this '98 Corvette. The moment I had waited for had finally arrived. Yes, I remember it well.
After all, it's not 'every day' that dreams come true! On February, 24th, 2010, Dallas Tx, Mine did.
Although I will never see the money again that I have put into her to this date. It certainly has been money well spent. An if I were
to begin to describe the joy she brings me, even when she is just sitting around looking pretty. I would be just 'singing to the choir!' (smile)

Met up with Benny and some other San Diego Corvette owners, then drove up to the Block of Orange meet back in the summer of 2006. His FRC had just had a 402 and an S-Trim installed at the time, and hoooolllyyy crap did the car pull. He left my lowly little A4 C5 in the dust. 
A few months later, my C5 was in the shop for some body repair, and I was given the chance to ride shotgun with him on a couple of mountain runs.
It was love at first sight, and at first ride. Then, summer of 2011 rolls around, and he's looking at picking up an AC Cobra replica. I had been pestering him ever since, telling him to put me in his will for that FRC, and he gave me first dibs, at a price I was somehow able to afford. I sold my C5 hatchback(6spd this time, as my dad had my old A4), and September of 2011, Ole' Grey had become mine. Although this time, she had a few more mods under the hood.
I will be buried in her, or we will burn into the side of a mountain when they try and take my car keys away.
The day I picked her up and the first time I'd ever sat in the driver's seat...
