Default 1st vette

I'm Sixty One years old and wanted a Vette for as long as I can remember. Last week My wife said life is short if you want a vette buy one, so I bought a low millage C4. A Ninty Five White with Grey and Black interior Coupe. A little hard for a old man with arithritis to gey in and out of but it is worth it. Life is good

Welcome you young guy! At 69 years young I find getting in and out of the Corvette good daily exercise. It's done wonders for improving the what was once a boring drive out to the grandchildrens' house. They tell everyone "grandpa drives a race car!" Time to put some miles on her and have fun.
