Got my first 'Vette last August-'08 CRM coupe. A present from my wife for my 62nd birthday. I've owned many muscle cars, but there's nothing like a Corvette; I love it.

71 and clean living is not the answer, never cease to have fun.
The wife forced me to buy the vette for my 69th birthday an '08 CRM m6 coupe with 3500 miles. She wanted to go faster in ORR and I didn't want to cage my Dodge SRT8.
We will enter 4 ORRs this year. Entry is submitted for Big Bend at 135.
We will do Bonneville and Silver State twice.
I also track the car at Spring Mountain.
I am beginning to like the car.

Almost 67 here, bought our '08 in March 2010. I didn't realize it came with the time machine option but I am only 23 when I drive it, same age as when I bought our brand new '68 Camaro, also yellow and black.
