Well, I did it!
Today, I bought a 2004 Corvette Coupe! It is burgundy with tan interior. I looked for a long time to find one with fairly low mileage. I found one at a dealer, took it for a drive. Found the previous owners information in the glove box and called him. Talked to him about 15 minutes about the car. Everything he said was positive. So I told them OK! LOL...I will be paying on it for the rest of my life, (I am 68), but like my wife said, "we can't take it with us!" But we will drive to the poor house in style!

Congratulations. At 68 you are a youngster behind your first Vette. I bought my 3rd Vette (04 vert) at 71 last year. Another check on my bucked list. Your wife is right; you can’t take it with you. So drive it and enjoy the ride. Just got back from a 30 mile top down ride and I hated it when I pulled into the driveway and shut it down. Well, tomorrow is another day.
Nice color combo 
Congratulations!
