Intro from Upstate NY
It's been a long time between Corvettes. The first one was a 1974 over 40 years ago. Two days ago I bought a 2004 triple black C5 convertible. I know you can't buy the years back but the way this car makes me feel is incredible! Took a ride yesterday and the memories just flowed. I don't want to get to sappy but the Corvette just seems to make a lot of silly problems vanish. Thanks for letting me on board.
Enjoy while you can.
