Quarter Century
Born on date December 18 1997. 25 years ago today. Boy does time fly. I ordered the Vette September 97, Took delivery January 5 1998. Had no idea at the time that 25 years later i would still be the proud owner. It has never crossed my mind to part with this great car.

Picked it up in August 1997, used as my DD originally (replaced a Fox 5.0 Mustang), now it's a 2nd car.

Congrats on 25 years of original ownership! 
You have certainly been a good caretaker, and it shows.
