I have a number of friends in my age group lovin their Vettes. Some are new to the marque, others have significant history, but I have not found anyone locally that dates back as far as I with Corvettes.
I'm close C1Vettes...also live close (Sarasota)

After kids, and great marriage saved and bought my first Corvette at age 60, 04 coupe. On our 40th. wedding anniversery my wife stated it was time for me to get the corvette I wanted and could not have all those years. I bought new 07 Z51 convertable. Life is good with no bad days.

Registered for Medicare a couple of months ago, the very next week I bought the 2010 GS.

No regrets and I'm having fun! Remember, you're only here once!
