Default Finally, A Corvette

After decades of wanting a Corvette I finally bought one! Previously had a BMW Z3M Roadster, followed by a 2006 Porsche 911 C4S. Neither quenched my thirst for a Corvette. Found a great car on the forum--2013 Grand Sport, Night Race Blue, 4LT, Callaway Double D exhaust, only 2300 miles on the clock. I am in the process of shipping it to FL as my "snowbird" toy, while the Porsche remains my MA toy. I am proud to be the owner of this car--great former owner, VERY smooth sale.

Had trouble loading the pics--don't know why they display sideways. Oh well--it's the thought that counts!

Happy New Year!

I'm jealous. I want one so bad. Back in 1982, my parents drove a red 1977 vette. I've wanted one ever since. I almost bought a 2008 last January. 30k, 12k on the odometer. Some day. Congrats on your new car.
