Congratulations on the retirement and the "present." That's a pretty awesome way to start the next chapter in your life. I think you'll find there are a lot of retired and active law enforcement officers here at the Forum. Cor07vette, a Forum administrator, is a retired police chief in Melbourne, FL.

Get some pics. up. Would love to see it. Have you found a local club? I know Doors Automotive just had a vette car show a few weeks back, but I missed it. Will be getting by there in the next week or so to see if they do a regular meet.

Louisiana is pretty flat, but you have the right car for zipping up the mountains you will encounter in your post-retirement travels. Until then, "Be Careful out there!"
