Default What a wife

My wife and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. We were sitting on the deck in the sunshine and my wife said to me we should get a new corvette for our anniversary gift to each other. My jaw dropped, wow, I gulped and took a deep breath and said what a great idea. Two days later we had traded our 2017 Z51 2lt vert for a new Corvette Grand Sport 2lt



Heritage Watkins Glen Grey. I love my wife so much.

It's all good, My wife told me when you retire and start collecting your check from the VA we will replace your corvette. As over the years I've had to sacrifice my 2 other corvettes for kids needs or house projects. after buying a 2016 1lt coupe my wife said why did you do that when your others were verts. (I was being cheap) After having the coupe for 3 months I took the hit and traded for the one I have now a 2017 2lt vert. Looks like this one is a keeper
My wife did this for our 27th anniversary. I hope I make it to the 50th
