Greetings from Georgia. Since childhood my husband had a lifelong love/obsession with corvettes. In the fall of 2009 he stumbled across a great deal on a 92 Lt1 at the right time financially. I made him follow his heart, sent him out he door, and told him DO NOT come home without it. It wasn't long before I started jokingly referring to the car as "The Girlfriend", telling him he could only have a girlfriend with 4 wheels, not 2 legs.
In September 2014 my husband passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. I have always had a fear of driving and he drove me everywhere. I couldn't depend on my mom or daughter forever to drive me around. Nothing was as scary as what I had been through, I put on my big girl pants and got my license. A few weeks ago I decided it was high time to take the girlfriend out, driving that car is just plain fun.
His love for his girlfriend fell just below that of his love for his family. I want to honor his memory by caring for her the right way. I came here in case I need any advice, recommendations, etc
My wife loved the 86 even tho she said she didn't. I had her drive it home from where we bought it, about 30 miles. Love ever since. Sher passed 4 1/2 months ago, cancer/. Oh, I grew up (mostly) in Columbus.
Thank you for the condolences. The day I decided to drive his vette I picked up some photos (keep finding years old rolls of film) and the first photo was of him, wearing a tux, grinning, and winking. I took that as a sign that he was okay with me behind the wheel of his vette. I have no doubt that this community will give me guidance to keep the girlfriend in top shape.
