Closet Corvette lover finally came out!
Hi guys, Yep it's true. I've been a hardcore Ford guy my whole life. Owned a zillion Mustangs and Shelbys over the years. Even some Porsche's and a couple of Chevy's and Mopar's along life's journey, but never pulled the trigger on my closet dream car. Well, I just retired and my wife surprised me with a new car. It's the car I always wanted. And now, we are both in love with my new attitude. I may never own another Shelby. We are now embracing the Corvette lifestyle and loving it!
