Default New from SW FLORIDA

I had my first ride in my Uncle Roy’s brand new 1958 Red Corvette in 1958.
I was hooked but being 10years old I had some time to wait to have my own.
Well 52 years have past and I now have my Corvette. I purchased a 1999 Sebring Silver Metallic , 6 speed with 50,000 miles on her.
The prior owner was a lady also in her sixties who only put 8,000 miles on her in 7 years and had her serviced every year. My wife and I hope to have many happy miles cruising around our little piece of Florida .
Best Regards
Ron
