Congrats. I have...um...let's say a few years before I get mine, unfortunately...

Have to do that whole college thing and get a good job. I'm 18 and I've wanted a corvette ever since I was 14 when I saw a neighbor had one almost exactly like this

Sympathy pains....

Don't feel bad.. we all get that fever. Not everyone can always get that cured in time, or all the way even.

I get that "loss pf slee" symptom before Carlisle, before my trips to the museum.... Not to mention it flares up every Saturday during cruise season, and I can't sleep that night nad mope around the house all the next day until I get it out of my system for a few days.

Glad your wife could get you diagnosed... knowing is half the battle!

Congrats and can't wait to see pics!
