1st Corvette
After looking for over a year I finally found what I was looking for. Recently purchased a 2002 Corvette Convertible, automatic. This was a garaged Vette that the previous owner never drove in the rain and had an indoor cover while garaged.
36,000 miles and the vehicle has 1 week old tires. Top looks better than new. Was a recent trade at the dealership I work at. The seller purchased a pre owned '14 Corvette.

Never ever drive in the rain. They will dissolve.
See picture below of someone who let their Vette sit in a pouring rain.
In all seriousness, Congrats and welcome to the Corvette family .

Welcome to the club.. I'm in Stuart as well and will keep an eye out for you. Your white vert was my first choice but I settled on silver.
