No more lawn mowing! The main thing is a 48 ft deep triple garage and a flat driveway where no one has to scrape the bottom of their cars.

This was taken 2011, but it pretty much looks this way at the moment.

Au contraire, my good sir.
Love for a house is temporary; love for a Corvette is eternal.

This is our home

We are in a historic district in downtown Savannah and have one of few properties with a carriage house with 4 garage bays.

This is our 2018 Grand Sport

Now that we're on from Corvettes to homes to vacation homes . . . I don't see why anybody finds owning waterfront property stressful.

We were present for this along with 85-year-old grandma and three of her similar age friends. It took 24 hours for the township to clear one lane back from the main road to this location.

($18K in tree removal, new roof on grandma's minivan, no big deal. Hah!)

I'll play. Got to teach the kids about keeping the car clean at an early age. The powerwasher gets them every time, not so sure about waxing and polishing yet...

Oh yeah, it looks a little different now with a 3ft coating of snow on everything.

This is a rather old picture of my house form 2015, but it pretty much looks the same today. The car picture is from summer 2016.

You haven't lived until you have power washed the flexible paint off the front fascia of a vehicle you own. In fairness, the smooshed dragonfly I was aiming at came off also.

Paid for is worth a lot. We went with a 15 year mortgage in 1984, only $100 more per month than a 30 year, then refinanced twice for lower interest rates and ended up paying off in just under 14 years. It's amazing what a difference that made in our finances.
