Hey man, congratulations! Hope you have many more years of fun driving...!

We gotta get together with the other Pacific Northwest Online Vette drivers this Spring and have another meet. Sounds like Fiberglassfan has some interesting plans in mind.

Congrats. My 1 year comes on March 14 and my Torch Red '04 Coupe is my daily driver with 8500 miles on it right now. What a great joy it is driving these machines.

four more days for me until my first anniversary of buying my 04 CE. About 17K on the ODO. Got withdrawal symptoms now with salt on the roads and snow and ice . . . Now on my third set of cat backs . . .

I know how you feel. I too wish I had bought one sooner. Even if it was a beater. They are great cars. And if I had bought a beater it wouldn't be looking like one for long.

You need to move farther from your work so you can drive longer.

Congrats on the anniversary. You do indeed drive the car a lot. I just barely have that many miles on mine and it is five years old. Best wishes for many more happy years of owning the car.
