Finially have one
Hi,
We have always wanted a vette since I was real young. We finally just picked one up yesterday, actually it has been a want for my wife also. So on Friday we seen a vette on the back of a roll back going down the road, and we figured it was going to the swap meet at the Monroe fairgrounds. We did kind of suggested we should go just to. look around, we have gone to it a time or two before. Last time we went all we came home with, was a set of wheelbarrow handles. lol. Went to the car corral , and there it was, the same one that was on the truck. Well long story short, we drove it home. It was out 22nd wedding anniversary, and we came home with a silver anniversary, It was meant to happen. Drives ok for a 38 year old car, and I think we need to refresh the suspension, and just minor things, other wise, just want to enjoy it as it is.
