was here years ago and had an 02 C5 base nitrous Vette. Had to take. A break because an insufferable ex and sold the Vette. Illness has taken over so this is my bucket list dream car. Wife (new) very supportive made it happen. Wanted an M7 but my left side is getting weaker so A8 it is. All in all really thankful I’m still able to drive. The little things 💪

Welcome! Nice ride. Life does happen for sure. I had a few life set backs as well, mainly job related. I just bought my first Vette a few weeks ago at 51.
