My dream car

Have had a 1980 l48 for twenty four years it is still like new has 65M original miles, but have always wanted a red convertible with black top and black interior. I had told myself 48 years ago that i was going to own one. Finally happened two weeks ago found a 2003 convertible red with black top black interior only 5087 miles, virtually new. Love to drive it the six speed is alot of fun.

thanks for the notes. I used the forum to solve a problem with my rear view mirror and back up light issue. Save myself 60 dollars because the dealership did not have to diagonose the problem. It was the back up swith on the transmission.

I had to wait for my 60th birthday to get myself the present I wanted, a Corvette convertible with a 6-speed manual tranny. Rowing the gears is a blast, isn't it?
