Finally got it!!

I have dreamed of owning a Corvette my entire life. I finally acquired a 2008 Red Z06 with 19,000 miles at the ripe old age of sixty. I love the car and will continue to read the forum and look forward to many miles and smiles.

Better late than never! I have you by a few years, but I've owned Corvettes, at some time, all my life. My first at 26. Enjoy!

I bought my first Corvette at age 60 as well - 2006 Z06 in victory red. Bought it in 2016 and love the car. I never get tired of looking at it and driving it. Enjoy!
