27 years later...
I just bought my first Corvette, a White 1980, L48, Auto with 62K miles. I think of it as my junior college graduation present...just 27 years late or .91 cents saved everyday for 27 years. Yes, I have checked the garage the last few nights and pitched myself to make sure I was awake.
I'm looking forward to the forum as the blower motor is not working, the headlights don't like to come up with out a helping hand and the antenna motor decided to keep running without moving the antenna but then it is a 27 year old car. Of course, if the engine had a little more HP...but that's a winter project.
This is going to be so much fun.
Bob
