What a bitter sweet day. My old man and I would buy corvettes together. This is the first time since his Covid death that he’s not here. I would love it more if he was still alive to take him for a ride.

I still feel really lucky that a local dealer had a customer back out.

Congratulations. I'm sure your father would have loved to experience that with you. Be that as it may, I'm confident that he would be proud to know that you're still keeping up with your love of Corvettes.
