I'm a 64 young thinking retired man, active, offshore fisherman, conservative etc. enough of that.
I was shocked the other day, my lady having been a Mercedes driver
for most of her life, came home with a Corvette, It was a 98 C5 coupe with virtually every option and with 9300 miles on it and I do not think it was ever driven in the rain. She paid an arm and a leg for it.
I will need some help, I'm sure with problems and what will be best to keep her(the C-vet) in great condition.
Thanks in advance
