Hey from MI
Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and intoduce myself. I currently have a C6 Conv, silver in color. I wanted a Vette for a long time and with 4 kids, it wasn't on the list for quite a while. In July of 05 I was in a major ATV vs Jeep drag racing accident, lost my leg, severed my aertoria, broke my back, killed my colon and the list goes on. Once I was out of the hosp, I went a bought a new Vette and as I get better every month, I drive it more and more. My Corvette is high on the list now except for my family and the man upstairs. I look forward to talking and possibly meeting some of you as time goes on. I know, I'm long winded...LOL
