2 Years Today!

Well exactly 2 years ago today I took delivery on my long awaited first Corvette. I must say that the grin still has not left my face. It has been a particularly unusually good summer here in the northeast for enjoying a roadster and I don't think the top has been up in 2 months, except of course for washing.

The car has been rock-solid and dependable for me, really earning my respect! I can say it really was worth the wait. My current avatar shows my car at the dealer being shown by the sales girl.

Sorry guys, no pix of sales girl available...

I've had my first vet for 4 years now. And I still love driving it, washing it, just sitting in it sometimes. It changed me as a person! Awesome little machine.

Congrats on your anniversary together.

This September will mark 6 years since I bought my first Vette. It doesn't seem like that long ago.

There are two kinds of people, those who drive Corvette and those who wish the could.

I don't know the exact date but that's about how long I have had a Corvette also. Although I have to admit, I don't wash it as much as I did when I first got it, I still love driving and looking at it when I pass it in the garage. I hope to always be able to have one.

Congratulations, and keep enjoying the ride.
