Default I'm back for the third time

I think it's a keeper this time!

I just bought a gently used 2012 4LT Centennial Edition Grand Sport convertible tonight. It had a total of 4976 miles on it when I drove off the dealer's lot.

You've got that one right! I expect to put about 20k miles a year on it.

I never understood why someone would leave a great car like this in the garage, go out and stare at it and drool over it, maybe drink a beer, and then go back in the house.

My first was an '03 Millennium Yellow Z51 convertible that had a total of 1175 miles at 2-1/2 years old. The best part of it was getting an essentially new car for maybe 60% of the cost when new.

Default Me too!

Congratulations! I also just purchased my 3rd C6 on Thursday, a 2013 427 Convertible, with 3200 miles on it. I've also decided that this is a keeper! I won't make the mistake again of selling such a great car. Happy motoring!

From personal experience, I can tell you he was probably working 60 hour weeks to support a family. Parting with the Corvette was probably painful, but necessary.

Glad you were able to find such a pristine Corvette! Enjoy.

we don't want those garage queen owners to change, because it benefits the rest of us.

That's a real winner... but I'd have had a coupe!
