Hello from Ohio
Hello from Southeastern Ohio, have been kicking around the idea of getting out of boating and buying a corvette. My kids are so active in sports now that the boating and fishing time has been few and far between. Would get more use out of a corvette, or maybe its just a mid life crisis thing LOL. I am 41 and have always loved corvettes, learned to drive a standard when I was 16 in my friends step dads corvette. The step dad never new, always have wanted one since. -Brad

Welcome!
One thing I've found about Motorcycles and a Corvette over boats is you can just go out for 5 minutes if you want. And if you are only responsible for one kid at a time you can take them to games in the Corvette. Unless you live on the water you are pretty much committed to a whole day on the weekend to take the boat out, drive a Corvette to work in the summer and enjoy it every day!
