Bucket list check
I've wanted a Corvette my entire life -- it was always an item on my bucket list. I just turned 59 a week ago. In November 2012, I convinced a friend of mine to sell me his 1981 Corvette that has essentially been sitting in his garage since 1987 (41K original miles). I've been bringing it back from the dead since -- and having a great time doing it! I'm excited at the prospect of discussing Corvettes with this community.

Hello Pfieler. Congratulations on your acquisition. We've a couple of things in common: 1) I turned 55 last November and; 2) A Corvette has been on my "bucket list" for, oh, I don't know...45 years now! Recently acquired a very slightly used C6
