Default Back in a Corvette, again!
I have gone full circle it seems with my cars, but have landed once again in a Corvette. I have had several great cars over the last 15 years or so, but the Corvette just seems to suit my style better.
I found a '16 Z51 3LT that was loaded the way I wanted and brought it home. I previously had a '67 427 Roadster, '08 Z51 A6 coupe, '02 Porsche 911, '04 BMW M3, '11 BMW 135i, but the Corvette is hands down my favorite. The other plus is there are dealers on every corner compared to European cars. I was over 100 miles away from a BMW or Porsche dealer.




I went from this...

To this....



To this.....
I think this one will be a keeper.

~Tony
