Default Having fun.

Three weeks ago I bought Margaret. I must have really cracked up buying a Corvette. Only two seats and a rise in insurance rates. But she digs Elvis and I have fun going places with her. Kind of like having a girlfriend.

Life is too short not to enjoy every moment, and the 'vette is a key component towards that goal.
I'm certain you'll get a lot of smiles out of yours.

Though I must admit, I have never referred to any of my cars as "she", and none of them had names.
Never did understand that. I call my 'vette "car".
Although one day last year when my grandson heard me say I was taking my car in for an oil change.
He said, "ya mean the, "Silver Bullet."

So, one day, when my '13 GS becomes his, it will definitely have a name.
