Very nice.

I got my first Vette after waiting and dreaming about them for about 40 years. I've had it since last May. How long did you have to wait 'till you got yours?

Congrats. Bet the weather didn't put a damper on your enthusiasm.

Tomorrow marks my 4 year anniversary with mine. Time goes by so fast when you really enjoy something.
