Got One!!

I have rejoined the ranks of Corvette owners after a 25 year hiatus. There is a new (to me anyway) 2009 CRM/Light Linen convertible stored in my garage until the Michigan winter passes. It is an ex-GM car with just over 5K miles and (from what I can tell) is in excellent condition. Time to start researching car covers, esential maintenance aids and, I'm sorry to say, mods!!! (So far my only purchase has been one of the EE thermal tunnel reinforcement plates, but that won't last......)
Enjoy,

Congrats to you! Sounds awesome, I would've loved to have had that leather wrapped interior, but too rich for my blood. You're gonna love it!

25 year hiatus, shame on you. But welcome back to your family of Corvette lovers, I myself left for about 10 years but returned in 2005.

hooray!

Big time congrats are in order. What a beautiful Vette. I bet the spring can't arrive fast enough...25 years is a long time in between vettes...you will not believe how good your new 09 is until you get some miles in the seat.
