Well, today makes one year that I rejoined the Vette community with a 2000 coupe after a long absence. I sold my last Vette in 1982. Let's just say it is one of the best car things I have ever done. Although I have only driven it less than 3k, I am enjoying it and that is why I bought it. What a wonderful car and I will enjoy it for years to come. And today was a beautiful day for a drive in Texas.

Joining this forum was also a very wise choice, a true wealth of information from knowledgeable and experienced people.

How long have you had yours? Do you plan to keep it a long time?

Keep the waive going.

I've had my current one for 5 1/2 years. Doubt I'll be getting rid of it anytime soon.

Took delivery of my 2000 vert in December, '99. Probably a keeper. Just such a nice car!

I'm a newbie. Bought my 03 late last summer. Still getting to know the car, but love everything about it so far.

I've had my 2003 Z06 for two years now. I think that I'll keep it for a couple of years more.

I will have had mine 8 years in May. Doubt I would ever find another one that color anytime soon if I sold it. So ya, it's a keeper for sure. Glad you all are enjoying yours too.
