New (to me) Corvette
Hi,
When I was 18, I wanted a Corvette. You see, growing up, my neighbor always had corvettes and I loved them. So, at 18 I asked our insurance agent how much it would cost to insure a Corvette. He said if I had to ask, I couldn't afford it. Well, fast forward to 2018, forty years later, and I got my Corvette! It's a 2005 convertible and I LOVE IT! I'm so excited to finally own a Corvette and I'm looking forward to enjoying it for the rest of my life.
