The first car that I paid for with my own money was a 1998 Camaro SS. I had to fly from Northern Virginia to Chicago to find it. I saved money from cutting grass and working at a detail shop when I was in High School. I still have it, although now that I have the Corvette, it mostly sits under a cover in the garage. I can't bring myself to sell it.

​​​​​​

My first Corvette is a 2017 Z51 M7. I just bought it back in November. I don't have alot of pictures of it since the weather has been so bad, but here is one when it was in the delivery lane at the dealer when I was picking it up. My sons are "driving".

My first car was a 1957 Chevy 4 door sedan. I wish I had a picture but I do remember paying $300.00 for it. A great "Drive-In" car! My last Corvette, 2017 Grand Sport.

Not my first car, but I had a 1969 Grand Prix, 400 4 BBL and a his/hers shifter. I loved that car.

First Car I bought was a 1972 Formula 400 Firebird, found it in a salvage yard in Carlisle, Penna. July of 1973, it had 3300 miles on it. Paid $850.00 for it. I was a junior in High School, worked in a body shop ,man that owned the shop guided me through the rebuild.

Last of 5 Corvettes we have bought came from Regester Chevrolet in Thompsontown ,Pa. Flew in and picked it up June 29, 2016.
