You're lucky to afford a Vette at your age. I know when I was about 38 I couldn't!!!!

I only dreamed of owning a vettre when I was 38 years old. You should consider yourself lucky, and take any advise and wisdom you can get from us "old folk". Remember..............whether we like it or not.....we all end up here inthe end! And you know.........it's not a bad place to be.

You're not exactly a young rooster at 38, little buddy, but you could work on your spelling/posting skills a bit.
