Default Greetings from WI

Hello everyone! I made a promise to myself at the age of 12 I'd own a Corvette. Two weeks ago I made good on that promise. I bought a 1979. Looking forward to playing with the best toy ever!

I did as well in 1962 upon seeing a new SWC at the Great Lakes mall in Mentor, Ohio. Welcome aboard, congrats & enjoy.
